There must be no ifs and buts in fighting terrorism, no good or bad terrorists: India at UNSC ANI | Updated: Jan 12, 2021 22:24 IST
New Delhi [India], January 12 (ANI): Asserting that there must be no ifs and buts in the fight against terrorism, External Affairs MinisterS Jaishankar on Tuesday said that countries must not countenance double standards in this battle and terrorists are terrorists, there are no good and bad ones .
Speaking at the United Nations Security Council open debate on International Cooperation in combating terrorism 20 years after the adoption of 1373 , he said there are countries that are clearly guilty of aiding and supporting terrorism and willfully provide financial assistance and safe heavens.
India on Tuesday asserted that the international community must not allow terrorism to be justified and terrorists glorified as it told the UN Security Council that the crime syndicate responsible for the 1993 Mumbai blasts is given not just State protection but enjoying 5-star hospitality, a veiled reference to the D-company head Dawood Ibrahim believed to be hiding in Pakistan. First, we must all summon up the political will to unhesitatingly combat terrorism. There must be no ifs and buts in this fight. Nor should we allow terrorism to be justified and terrorists glorified. All member States must fulfill their obligations enshrined in international counter terrorism instruments and conventions, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said in a virtual address.
