Terrorism is a threat to humanity, there is no good or bad terrorist: Narendra Modi

NEW YORK: Rejecting any distinction between good and bad terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday called for a collective fight to effectively tackle the global menace.

"There is no good terrorist or bad terrorist," Modi said while addressing the Council for Foreign Relations here.


"There is a need to take the challenge of terrorism seriously. It's sad that many countries could not earlier understand the ugly face of terrorism which is enemy of humanity," he said.


"Terrorism can not be measured on the scale of political plus and minus. It is a threat to humanity," the Prime Minister said.
