India pitches for adoption of convention against terror

He said if “we did not send a strong message that our movement stands resolutely for international cooperation in bringing the perpetrators, organisers financiers and sponsors of all acts of terrorism to justice. An act of terrorism anywhere is a threat to peace and stability everywhere,” he said.

Mukherjee termed terrorism as “one of the most serious” threats to global peace and said it “negates the fundamental principles of justice” and can have no justification.

Referring to the recent serial blasts in Bangalore and Ahmadabad and the terror attack at the Indian Embassy in Kabul, he said the terrorists’ intention, quite clearly, is to rupture India’s resilient social fabric. “But India’s resolve and capacities are strong enough and can withstand all these terrorists can do.”
