India's Modi Urges World Leaders to 'Define Terrorism To Deal With It Effectively'
19:24 13.10.2023 (Updated: 13:29 15.10.2023) The absence of a proper definition of terrorism plays right into the hands of terrorists and it's high time this situation was rectified as it would help the whole world, the Indian Prime Minister explained.
Urging parliaments around the world to give serious thought to how they can deal with the worldwide problem of terrorism, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday called for a uniform definition of terrorism as not having one plays to the advantage of the "enemies of humanity".
Modi said this while addressing the ninth G20
Parliamentary Speakers' Summit (P20) in Delhi.
"The fact that a consensus has not been achieved on the definition of terrorism is saddening and the enemies of humanity are taking advantage of this approach. Parliaments around the world have to think about how we should work together to combat terrorism," he was quoted as saying by the reports.
Recalling how the
Indian Parliament was attacked in 2001 by Pakistan-based terrorists, he said: "The terrorists knew our Parliament was in session and they wanted to finish it."
"India has been facing cross-border terrorism for decades and terrorists have killed thousands of innocents," Modi said, adding, "the world is now realising how big a challenge terrorism is, and that it is against humanity."
Addressing the Summit, he also highlighted the need for the world to be united and said it was time to move forward together to ensure development for all.
"A divided world cannot provide solutions to the major challenges that humanity faces. This is the time of peace and brotherhood, a time to move together. This is a time for growth and wellbeing of all," he said.
"We have to overcome the global trust crisis and move forward with humancentric thinking. We have to look at the world in the spirit of One Earth, One Family, One Future," Modi said.
The event was attended by Speakers of Parliaments of G-20 members and invitee countries. The four topics which are due to be discussed are 'Transformation in People’s Lives through Public Digital Platforms', 'Women-led development', 'Accelerating SDGs' and 'Sustainable Energy Transition'.
A delegation of the
Russian Federal Assembly headed by the Speaker of the Federation Council (FC) Valentina Matvienko is also in India to participate in the G-20 Parliamentary Speakers' Summit.
