Modi attacks Pakistan over terrorism at SCO summit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on the countries sponsoring, aiding and funding terrorism adding that they must be held accountable, as he called for a global conference to combat the menace, on Friday.

Modi, without naming Pakistan, hinted towards the neighboring country, as he raised the issue of state-sponsored terrorism at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit (SCO) in Bishkek.

To combat the menace of terrorism, countries will have to come out of their narrow purview to unite against it, PM Narendra Modi said in the presence of his Pakistani counterpart Imran Khan.

Underscoring the aim of the SCO to strengthen cooperation in the fight against terrorism, PM Modi called for a global conference to combat it.

“During my visit to Sri Lanka last Sunday, I visited the St Anthony’s church, where I witnessed the ugly face of terrorism which claims the lives of innocents anywhere,” he said.

To tackle the danger of terrorism, all humanitarian powers should come forward together. Countries that provide encouragement, support, and finances to terrorism must be held accountable,” Modi said.
