GANDHINAGAR: Calling for zero tolerance on terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the time has come for all humanitarian forces to join hands to end the menace.
In his remarks at the CEO Conclave this evening, being held as a part the three-day the Vibrant Gujarat Summit here, Modi said terrorism is a threat to the humanity.
“The time has come for all humanitarian forces to join together to resolve the problem of terrorism,” he said.
His comments came on a day when more than 40 world leaders marched through Paris to rally for unity and freedom of expression and to honour 17 victims of three days of terrorist attacks, including on satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo’s office.
Emphasising the need for zero tolerance on terrorism, Modi said this required political will and added that “products should reach the needy and not terrorists”.
The Prime Minister also discussed counter-terror co-operation with senior leaders of US and Canada visiting India for the Summit.
Promising a predictable and fair policy environment and stable tax regime, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday assured the global community that India would be the easiest place to do business.
“Since day one, my government is actively working to revive the economy. My government is committed to create a policy environment that is predictable, transparent and fair,” he told an audience comprising US Secretary of State John Kerry, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and top global and domestic CEOs.
Modi, who assumed office as Prime Minister in May last year after BJP stormed to power with a huge mandate, said that the atmosphere of despair and uncertainty has gone away within a very short span of seven months.
