Terrorism almost daily routine, must be fought unitedly: PM Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday recalled the sacrifices of brave citizens in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack nine years ago, and said terrorism posed a global threat “almost as a daily routine”, and stressed on the need to fight it unitedly.

Speaking in his monthly radio programme Mann ki Baat, Mr Modi said even a few years ago, when India talked about the threats of terrorism, not many in the world were ready to take it seriously.

“Now that terrorism is knocking at their doors, every government in the world, those who believe in humanity, governments with faith in democracy, are seeing this as one of the biggest challenges,” he said, adding that terrorism was a threat to humanity.

“Terrorism has taken an ugly shape and has become a global threat almost as a daily routine. Terrorism has challenged  humanity. It is bent upon destroying humanitarian forces. So not only India but all humanitarian forces will have to keep fighting unitedly to defeat the menace of terrorism,” he said.
