Modi takes a dig at Pakistan
“Few nations in South Asia believe in terrorism,” said Narendra Modi. “India is a victim of terror ideology.”
“Contrary to the ideology of development followed by India and Bangladesh, there is one country in south Asia whose ideology and policies promote terrorism,” he added.
“This (country’s) thinking is based on violence and terrorism. The makers of such ideology believe more in terrorism than in humanity,” he said.
