Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that countries with "regressive thinking" that are using terrorism as a "political tool" must understand that it is an equally big threat for them also, in a veiled attack on Pakistan which is often accused by its neighbours of providing safe havens to terrorists.
Addressing the 76th UN General Assembly here, Prime Minister Modi also said that in order to strengthen the rules-based world order, the international community must speak in unison, in an apparent reference to China which is flexing its military muscles in the Indo-Pacific.
Noting that the world is facing an increased threat of regressive thinking and extremism, Modi said countries that are using terrorism as a political tool have to understand that terrorism is an equally big threat to them.
"It is absolutely essential to ensure that Afghanistan's territory is not used to spread terrorism and for terrorist activities,” he said. “We also need to ensure that no country tries to take advantage of the delicate situation in Afghanistan and use it for its own selfish interests.”
Pakistan’s neighbours, including Afghanistan and India, and the US have long accused Islamabad of providing safe haven and support to militants, a charge denied by it.
Modi said that oceans are also a shared heritage.
"Our oceans are also the lifeline of international trade. We must protect them from the race for expansion. The international community must speak in one voice to strengthen a rule-based world order,” he added.

MODI PRIME MINISTER AND TERRORISM IN INDIA
Now India has the highest population of homegrown terrorists, who have turned India into a murder Capital of the world. Modi no doubt a experienced politician but unskilled to govern India in a lawful, effective and peaceful manner. India after 75,years of freedom from the British Raj has IAS and PCS justices who are sinuous, non-sane,subhumans and violent. They have destroyed India irreparably, now is the time IAS,IPS and PCS must go without pay and no public service for their remaining life and without pension. After 75,years of freedom India has the largest population of scum in Hindu religion, these scumbag have caused religious war all over India. IAS,PCS justices are scumbag who have looted the people of India. Yogi would be the nastiest scumbag of the world. Modi open his eye and see what Hindus are doing to Muslim and other lower caste. The homegrown terrorists of India have crippled India and its economy has collapsed. Historically the dictators have the shortest life but cause a very long term losses. India is ruined permanently.
