“We consider that even a single attacks is one too many,” PM Modi said.

New Delhi:

The intensity of the reaction to different attacks cannot vary based on where it happens, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said, adding that “all terrorist attacks deserve equal outrage and action”. He said that there is no place for “ambiguous approach while dealing with a global threat”, calling terrorism an attack on humanity, freedom and civilization.

The PM was speaking at the ‘No Money for Terror’ Ministerial Conference on counter-terrorism financing in Delhi where he said our country saw the “dark face of terror” long before the world took serious note of it.

“Over the decades, terrorism, in diferent names and forms, tried to hurt India. We lost thousands of precious lives, but we have fought terrorism bravely,” he said.

“We consider that even a single attacks is one too many. Even a single life lost is one too many. So, we will not rest till terrorism is uprooted,” he added.

The long-term impact of terrorism is particularly hard  on the poor and on the local economy, the PM said.

“Nobody likes an area that is constantly under threat. And due to this, the livelihood of people is taken away. It is all the more important that we strike at the root of terror financing,” PM Modi said.

In a statement, the Prime Minister’s office (PMO) said the conference will offer a unique platform for participating nations and organisations to deliberate on the effectiveness of the current international regime on Counter Terrorism Financing as well as steps required to address emerging challenges.
