NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday asked the international community to isolate terrorists anywhere irrespective of the cause they are fighting for and the group or country they get support from.
"The international community must isolate and condemn terrorists wherever they attack, whatever their cause and whichever country or group provides them sustenance and support,'' the Prime Minister said in a statement before departing to attend the Outreach Session of the G-8 summit in St Petersburg on Monday.
He said he would impress upon the world leaders attending the Summit the the need for 'zero tolerance' against terrorism anywhere including isolation of terrorists by the international community.
He would also call upon the world leaders to impress upon the international community that they must isolate and condemn terrorists wherever they attack, whatever their cause and whichever country or group provides them sustenance and support.
"Terrorism is a scourge that continues to afflict different parts of the world. The tragic human cost that this entails was brought forth once again by the recent attacks in Mumbai and Srinagar. We will impress upon the leaders gathered at the G-8 summit that the international community must adopt an approach of zero-tolerance for terrorism anywhere."
"The international community must isolate and condemn terrorists wherever they attack, whatever their cause and whichever country or group provides them sustenance and support,'' the Prime Minister said in the departure statement.
Welcoming the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the host of the G-8 summit to extend an invitation to India, Dr Singh said Brazil, China, Mexico, South Africa, Congo and Kazakhstan would also participate in the Outreach Session.
