NEW DELHI: Asserting that India cannot ignore what is happening across the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said terrorism should be put down with an iron hand keeping politics aside in the interest of national security.
Addressing Chief Ministers at a day-long meeting of the Inter-State Council, he asked the states to focus on intelligence sharing which will help the country stay “alert” and “updated” in countering internal security challenges.
In his concluding remarks, the Prime Minister touched on law and order and emphasised that both the Union and State Governments in India cannot ignore what is happening across the world today.
“On this issue, he urged all concerned to keep politics aside and keep national security paramount,” the PMO said releasing his concluding remarks.
The Prime Minister’s statement comes in the wake of series of terror attacks in some countries, including in France. (AGENCIES)
