“No ifs and buts in dealing with terrorism”: Modi to US Congress


Terrorism is an enemy of humanity and there can be no ifs and buts in dealing with it, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a veiled attack on Pakistan. PM Modi’s strong remarks came during his address to a joint sitting of the US Congress on Thursday. “More than two decades after 9/11 and more than a decade after 26/11 in Mumbai, radicalism and terrorism still remain a danger for the whole world,” said the Prime Minister who is on his first state visit to the US. “These ideologies keep taking new identities and forms, but the intentions are the same. Terrorism is an enemy of humanity and there can be no ifs and buts in dealing with it,” said PM Modi. “We must overcome all such forces sponsoring and exporting terror,” he told the US Congress as “Modi, Modi” chants echoed in the chamber.
