New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said cost must be imposed on countries which aid terrorism as part of their foreign policy by providing political, ideological and financial support.
In his inaugural speech at the third No Money for Terror (NMFT) conference, PM Narendra Modi said that if we want our citizens to be safe, we cannot wait until terror comes to our homes.
He said, organisations and individuals that try to create sympathy for terrorists must also be isolated.
"There can be no ifs and buts interfering in such matters. The world needs to be united against all kinds of overt and covert backing of terrorism," Modi said. The prime minister said tactical gains against terrorists will soon be lost without a larger strategy aimed at hurting terror finances. (Agencies)
