Washington, 22 September(Wishav Warta): External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj has underscored the need to combat terrorism in her multilateral meetings and sent a “very strong” signal to Pakistan to stop using it as an instrument of state policy, her spokesperson has said. Swaraj, who is currently in New York to attend the annual UN General Assembly Session, held a series of multilateral meetings, including with leaders of BRICS, IBSA, SAARC and India-CELAC.
“In almost all the multilateral engagements which EAM (external affairs minister) had, a reference to the counter- terrorism has been a common thread in most of the press releases and statements. This is something which has come out very strongly,” external affairs ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar told reporters here on Thursday.
