On 8th May, India's Prime Minister Shri Modi spoke the following sombre words to the US Congress:
“Globally terrorism remains the biggest threat. It may go by different names, but, it’s philosophy is common: of hate, murder and violence. I command the members of the US Congress for sending a clear message to those who preach and practice terrorism for political gains. Refusing to reward them is the first step towards holding them accountable for their actions.”
It seems that Modi’s commendation was for the stalled US F16 deal with the neighbouring country. For a long time they have been pandering to the perpetrator.
Some of the global terrorist groups do hold some territories but they have no factories to build armaments and to manufacture ammunitions. In spite of their lack of these facilities they are able to challenge the nearly unified might of Russia and the USA.
It is as clear as daylight that some governments and/or organisations are pandering to the perpetrators.
The obvious solution to the terrorism is to identify the panderers, refuse to reward them and compel them to stop their madness.
