PM rejects selective approach to terrorism

Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, Dr Manmohan called for unrelenting fight against terrorism on all front as new threats to international security have emerged. He asserted there cannot be selective approaches in dealing with terrorist groups or the infrastructure of terrorism.Dwelling at length on the dangers posed by terrorism, the Prime Minister said acts of piracy are being carried out with impunity from lands that are beyond the writ of any functioning state or international accountability.He said at a time when the world needs more international commerce, the sea lanes of communication across the Indian Ocean are under siege.On Afghanistan, he said the recent assassination of its Former President Burhanuddin Rabbani is a grim reminder of the designs of the enemies of peace. The Prime Minister said India will play its part in helping the people of Afghanistan to build a better future.Elaborating further, Dr Singh said India will do so because prosperity and stability in the region are indivisible and New Delhi is in favour of an inclusive and transparent architecture of regional cooperation in the Asia Pacific region and peaceful settlement of disputes.
