SCO Summit: Modi takes thinly-veiled jibe on Pakistan, says countries sponsoring terrorism must be held accountable

Firstpost  

In a veiled attack on Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that countries sponsoring, aiding and funding terrorism must be held accountable as he called for a global conference to combat the menace. Bishkek: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday lashed out at countries “sponsoring, aiding and funding” terrorism and told top leaders at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit that such states must be held accountable, in a veiled reference to Pakistan whose premier Imran Khan was among the audience. To combat the menace of terrorism, countries will have to come out of their narrow purview to unite against it, Modi said in the presence of Russian president Vladimir Putin, Chinese president Xi Jinping, Pakistan prime minister Khan and Iran president Hassan Rouhani among others. “Countries sponsoring, aiding and funding terrorism must be held accountable,” he said.
