World community should come together to fight terror: VP

PUNE:The entire world community should come together to fight terrorism, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu said here Tuesday.

He was speaking after inaugurating a newly-built dome complex housing a prayer hall at MIT World Peace University here. He also inaugurated ‘World Parliament of Science, Religion and Philosophy’ organised by the varsity.

“Violence and terror are the enemies of mankind. With violence one can not achieve one’s objective…Some people think bullet is more important than ballot but ballot can change the fate of anybody,” he said.

A bullet can kill a person, but the same bullet can also kill the one who fired it, he said.

“Today I am saying it in Pune and you will understand (its import) after I leave here,” Naidu said, adding that those who encourage extremism are harmful to society.

In the past, only India spoke out against terrorism and countries in the West were not bothered about the issue, but after some major terrorist attacks, the US, Europe, Russia and other countries began to feel concerned, Naidu said.

“The entire world community should come together to fight terrorism,” he said. Adding that terrorism and violence have no class or religion. (AGENCIES)
