Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar has called on the global community to show \u201czero tolerance\u201d toward terrorism.
\nSpeaking at the Council of Heads of Government of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Moscow on Tuesday, Jaishankar said the grouping was founded to combat the three evils of terrorism, separatism, and extremism.
\n\u201cIt is imperative that the world displays zero tolerance towards terrorism in all its forms and manifestations,\u201d he said. \u201cThere can be no justification, no looking away, and no whitewashing.\u201d
\nJaishankar reiterated New Delhi\u2019s position that India has the right to defend its people against terrorism and that it will exercise it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
