World must speak in one voice against terrorism: India delegation in France

India wants peace and amity but not at the cost of innocent Indians, and the world must speak in one voice as far as barbaric state-sponsored terrorism is concerned, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said, as an all-party delegation led by him began its six-country Europe tour in Paris.

The nine-member engaged with members of the Senate and National Assembly, think tanks and a cross-section of the Indian diaspora during the opening leg of their visit in France. “Our whole focus is very clear: India wants peace and amity, but not at the cost of the lives of our innocent Indians,” Prasad said.

“And if in the most barbaric manner, Pahalgam happens, there will be a cost to it, and the whole world needs to speak in one voice as far as terrorism is concerned. It’s a global menace, a global cancer,” he said

“Under Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi’s leadership, if you keep on attacking with impunity, you have to pay a cost.” The former Union minister noted how European nations, including France, the UK and Belgium, have also been victims of terrorism.
