In an obvious reference to Pakistan, President Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday asked the world to proscribe nations that support or sponsor terrorism as an instrument of state policy.
Asserting there is no good or bad terrorism, Mukherjee termed it as a “cancer which must be operated out with a firm scalpel” and world, in one voice, reject all its manifestations, without distinction.
“It is imperative that the world in one voice rejects all manifestations of terrorism, without distinction, and proscribes States that support or sponsor terrorism as an instrument of State policy,” he said after inaugurating the second edition of counter-terrorism conference.
