Don't return to era of 'your terrorists' and 'my terrorists': India cautions UN

India has cautioned that 20 years after the 9/11 terror attacks, there are attempts again to divide terrorism into different terminologies such as violent nationalism and right wing extremism, asserting that the world should not return to the era of "your terrorists" and "my terrorists" but fight the scourge collectively. Participating in the UN General Assembly debate on adoption of resolution on 7th Review of Global Counter Terrorism Strategy on Tuesday, India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador TS Tirumurti said that the international community has acknowledged that the threat of terrorism is grave and universal, and can only be defeated by collective efforts of all UN member states, without any exception. "I do hope that member states do not forget history and divide terrorism again into different categories and take us back to the era of 'your terrorists' and 'my terrorists' and erase the gains we have had over the last two decades," Tirumurti said. "The current strategy fails to resolve the stalemate preventing the adoption of a comprehensive convention on international terrorism, which India has championed," Tirumurti said.
