Ostracise states that sponsor terror: Advani

February 04, 2003 11:10 IST

Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani on Tuesday said India expected the global community to "ostracise" nations sponsoring terrorism.

"There should be a conscious approach by the world community to see that those who violate UN resolutions on terrorism are not given assistance by any country. They should be ostracised. This is what India expects from the world," he said after delivering a lecture on 'New Approaches to Security and Development' in Singapore.

Advani said that there was "a well-grounded apprehension" that Southeast Asia could have been chosen as the "new theatre for the spread of jihadi extremism".

He said, "We have proposed a draft for a comprehensive resolution for combating terrorism in the United Nations and feel that its adoption now will be timely.

"We need to enforce compliance by states known to be sponsoring, sheltering, funding, arming and training terrorists."

There was an emerging regional consensus and support for joint action to fight terrorist activities, he said adding, "we need to work towards enhanced anti-terrorism cooperation, including intelligence sharing and border controls."

"A beginning in this direction has been made, but more needs to be done," Advani said and referred to the anti-terrorism treaties and joint working groups being set up between India and other nations.
