Calling terrorism an “enemy of humanity,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that there can be no ifs and buts while dealing with it.

As per ANI report, “Terrorism is an enemy of humanity and there can be no ifs and buts in dealing with it. We must overcome all such forces sponsoring and exporting terror,” the Prime Minister said, as he addressed the joint sitting of the US Congress on Thursday at the US Capitol Hill.

Affirming that the current era is not of war but, dialogue and diplomacy, the Prime Minister added by saying, “We all must do what we can to stop the bloodshed and human suffering.”

“More than 2 decades after 9/11 and more than a decade after 26/11 in Mumbai, radicalism and terrorism still remain a danger for the whole world. These ideologies keep taking new identities and forms but their intentions are same,” PM Modi said.

Regarding India’s economic progress, Prime Minister Modi highlighted the nation’s remarkable ascent from being the 10th largest economy in the world during his first visit to the US as Prime Minister to currently holding the fifth position globally.

“When I first visited the US as a PM, India was the 10th largest economy in the world. Today, India is the 5th largest economy. India will be the 3rd largest economy soon. We are not only growing bigger but we are also growing faster. When India grows the whole world grows,” PM Modi said at the joint sitting of the US Congress.

In terms of infrastructure development, the Prime Minister said, “Our vision is ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayaas’. We are focussing on infrastructure developments. We have given nearly 14 million homes to provide shelter to over 150 million people, which is nearly 6 times the population of Australia.”
