Lashkar, ISIS have different names but same ideology: PM Modi leads fight against terror at G20

On the first day of the G20 Summit in the German city of Hamburg, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today led the fight against terrorism. As the lead speaker at a session on the theme of fighting terrorism, PM Modi stressed on how terrorists organisations like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, active in Kashmir, are the same as Daesh (ISIS) and Al-Qaeda, active in other parts of the world.

Modi said terrorist organisations bear different names but their ideology is the same - that of spreading hatred and killing people.

Speaking at the two-hour-long Leaders' Retreat, Modi called upon the most powerful nations of the world to come together for a joint fight against the global menace.

Describing terrorism as the biggest threat of our times, PM Modi said international cooperation is weak on terrorism as the focus of all countries is on the national angle.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ON WHAT MODI SAID AT THE G20 SUMMIT ON TERRORISM:

1. PM Modi stressed that it is very important for the world to understand terrorism before taking any action as terrorism comes in different names but with the same ideology.
