Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday said that the United Nations should conclude deliberations on the definition of terror and then come out with an action plan to isolate the forces of terrorism.
"So, terrorism should be eliminated. The entire world must come together and understand the pain of people who are being affected by terror and try to eliminate it.
That's why I have been saying from every platform that international, United Nations organisation should conclude the deliberations on what is the definition of terror.
They have been discussing for years together and (should) then come out with an action plan to isolate the forces of terror," he said.
"....Terrorism has no religion, region or colour and must be eliminated," he said.
In an apparent reference to Pakistan, he said "our neighbour" is aiding, abetting, funding and training terrorism", which was not acceptable at all.
So steps should be taken to ensure that children's minds are also prepared towards the need to preserve peace, harmony, living together, taking care of others and also working together and safeguarding the nation's interests, he said.
Naidu was addressing the two day National Conference on 'Nai Talim- Experiential Learning in Teacher Education', organised by the Mahatma Gandhi National Council of Rural Education.
Nai Talim is a principle which states that knowledge and work are not separate.
The Vice President said women's education should become the cardinal principle of Nai Talim and empower society to dispel gender stereotypes.
