Narendra Modi's UNGA speech calls the world to unite against terror

Raising his voice strongly against terror, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that India is a country which has given the world 'Buddha' and not "yudh" (war), and that is why when it raises its voice against terror, it not only has seriousness, but also anger.

Addressing the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), the Prime Minister also urged the world to unite against terror.

"We believe that terrorism is not a challenge for any one country, but for all the countries and the mankind as a whole. So for the sake of mankind, the world has to unite against terror," Modi said.

He also said that the world should not see terror in different terms.
