India today called for united global action in strongly resisting “opportunistic” efforts of some states to support terrorist groups by facilitating training, funding and providing safe havens to them.
Addressing an international security conference here, Defence Minister Arun Jaitley said terrorism is being “reinvented” in newer and even more dangerous manifestations and that the challenge must be dealt with effectively.Without naming any country, he said terrorism will recoil on those who nurture it, adding distinctions are still sought to be made between good and bad terrorists, despite all the evidence and experience to the contrary.
The sixth Moscow conference on international security is attended by defence ministers of a large number of countries. “We should also resolutely resist opportunistic efforts by some states to support terrorist proxies by training, funding or providing safe havens to such groups for their limited objectives,” he said.
On the positive side, he said, the territory acquired by ISIS in the Middle East has begun to be effectively challenged by several countries.
