Need to delink religion from terrorism: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that there is a need to delink religion from terrorism and asserted that partial approaches to counter the menace will not be effective. <br/><br/>In an interview to leading Saudi Arabian daily 'Arab News', he termed terrorism as the enemy of humanity. Pressing for united global efforts to deal with the scourge, Mr Modi said there can be no distinction between good or bad terrorism and that it has no caste, colour, creed or religion.<br/><br/>Appreciating Saudi Arabia's leadership role in fighting terrorism in the Middle East, Mr Modi said India is committed to working with Riyadh as well as with its partners in the region to ensure that the world is a better place to live in. <br/><br/>The Prime Minister further said India has sought to challenge and repudiate the terror narrative that global counter-terrorism efforts are directed against any particular religion or ethnic group. <br/><br/>To defeat terror, Mr.Modi, said governments across the world should enhance cooperation in intelligence sharing, law enforcement, developing best practices and technologies as well as in extradition arrangements and capacity-building.
