U.N. defends response to terrorism in wake of criticism by Modi
The United Nations has defended its stance against terrorism saying it is certainly trying to take a “responsible attitude” in dealing with the menace, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticised the world body over the issue. “We certainly are trying to take a responsible attitude in terms of dealing with terrorism and the spectre of terrorism worldwide.The UN encourages international solidarity against terrorism in all its aspects, whether it is terrorist bombings or terrorist financing,” Deputy Spokesman for Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Farhan Haq, said. Haq was asked about the U.N. Chief’s response to Modi’s sharp criticism in Brussels last week when the Indian leader had said the world body does not know what terrorism is and how to deal with it. Modi’s visit to Brussels came just days after terror group ISIS carried out attacks that ripped through the departure area of the international airport and a subway station in the busy morning hours in the Belgian capital.
