In Pics: Narendra Modi addresses Australian Parliament

“In India, we have seen its face closely for three decades. And, we see it with the clarity that comes with it.  Terrorism is changing in character and expanding in its reach,” Modi said.

“Internet has made recruitment and call to violence self-generated. It also feeds off money laundering, drug trafficking and arms smuggling. We have to deepen our bilateral security cooperation.

But, we need a comprehensive global strategy for a global problem,” he said. 

In order to tackle the new security challenges, Modi sought closer security cooperation, a policy of no distinction between terrorist groups or discrimination between nations, a resolve to isolate those who harbour terrorists, willingness to empower states that will fight them, a social movement against extremism in countries where it is most prevalent and every effort to delink religion and terrorism.
