Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday asserted that over the decades terrorism in different forms tried to hurt India but the country fought terrorism bravely while delivered the inaugural address at the third ‘No Money for Terror’ (NMFT) Ministerial Conference on Counter-Terrorism Financing in New Delhi, the national capital. “It is significant that this conference is happening in India. Our country faced the horrors of terror long before the world took serious note of it. Over the decades, terrorism in different forms tried to hurt India but we’ve fought terrorism bravely,” the PM said in his opening remarks at the ‘No Money for Terror’ Conference here.
The PM called for uprooting terrorism, saying ”it needs a larger, proactive, systemic response. If we want our citizens to be safe, we cannot wait until terror comes to our homes. We must pursue terrorists, break their support networks and hit their finances.”
PM Narendra Modi said, ”All terrorist attacks deserve equal outrage and action” while speaking at the ministerial meeting on counter-terrorism financing. The PM went on to say that “It is well known that terrorist outfits get money through several sources – one is state support. Certain countries support terrorism as part of their foreign policy. They offer political, ideological & financial support to them…”
