'Terrorism being actively supported and sponsored by states', Sushma Swaraj makes veiled attack at Pakistan

India TV News  

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj made a veiled attack on Pakistan on Wednesday and said that terrorism was being actively supported and Swaraj was speaking at the 2019's Raisina Dialogue, India's flagship annual geopolitical and geostrategic conference, organised by the External Affairs Ministry in partnership with the Observer Research Foundation think tank. "There was a time when India would talk about terrorism, and it would be treated as a law and order issue on many global platforms," the external affairs minister said today. Sushma Swaraj recalled that in 1996 India proposed a draft Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism but lamented it has remained just a draft till today "because we cannot agree on a common definition". "Whether it is by founding the International Solar Alliance, which will benefit our energy security and also combat climate change; or our active role in humanitarian and disaster relief operations in our neighbourhood; or our membership of key institutions of global governance - India is a proactive and constructive contributor to promoting and upholding global peace and security," she said.
