India says no country or government can escape the responsibility of terrorism by pointing fingers at non-state actors. Addressing the fourth SAARC Home and Interior Ministers meeting in the Bhutanese capital Thimphu, Home Minister P. Chidambaram said terrorist groups have flourished in the South Asian region because of the support they received from State and non-state actors. He said the distinction between state actors and non-state actors is misplaced and intends to misdirect efforts to deal with terrorist groups at the very source. Pointing out that terrorism is the single largest hindrance to socio-economic development in the region, Mr Chidambaram said only with the fullest co-operation of all the threat of terrorism can be tackled.
