Dhaka : Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused Pakistan of creating ‘nuisance’ and ‘constantly’ troubling India by promoting terrorism, the Press Trust of India reported.
His latest outburst came during his address at the Bangabandhu International Convention Centre in Dhaka when he vowed to jointly combat with Bangladesh terrorism in the region. “Pakistan constantly disturbs India, creates nuisance, promotes terrorism and such incidents keep recurring,” he said in his address to Dhaka University.
Recalling that 90,000 Pakistani prisoners of war were in India’s captivity during the 1971 war, Modi said: “If we had a diabolic mindset, we don’t know then what decision we would have taken. We thought of Bangladesh’s progress and we sent back the 90,000 soldiers,” he claimed.
“Terrorism has no boundaries. India has been troubled by it for the last 40 years. So many innocent people have died and what did those associated with terrorism gain and what have they given to the world. Terrorism has no values, no principles, no traditions and it has only one motive and that is enmity against humanity,” he said.
A Joint Declaration issued on the last day of Modi’s maiden two-day visit to Bangladesh reaffirmed the two countries’ “unequivocal and uncompromising position against extremism and terrorism in all forms and manifestations.”
