India expresses dismay over UN’s struggle to define terrorism

LONDON: India today expressed dismay at the UN’s continued struggle to find a definition for terrorism, saying how can it can fight an undefined enemy.

Singling out terrorism as a major obstacle, Minister of State for External Affairs M J Akbar told the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) meeting here that India will not allow the forces of violence in its neighbourhood to succeed.

“India has become the pivotal power of the 21st century because this century will be controlled by which shape Asia takes. If the forces that inspire violence begin to expand, the implications are very grave. We won’t allow it, because of our security prowess, our belief system, our philosophy. The world must recognise, participate and join India in this battle,” he said.

The minister also expressed dismay at the UN’ continued struggle to find a definition for terrorism since 1996. (AGENCIES)
