Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in 3 day visit of Brussel. And in the backdrop of terror attacks in Brussel last week Modi highlighted the danger posed by terrorism to the world and said UN should address such major challenges failing which the global body could be rendered irrelevant, but it was unfortunate that the UN was still unable to define such terrorism and act on a resolution which prescribes action against the countries which support or give shelter to terrorism.

He said that terrorism cannot be defeated only by guns, but an environment needs to be created in the society to ensure that the youth are not radicalized. The Prime Minister said “The world was jolted by 9/11. Till then the world powers did not understand what India was going through. But India never bowed to terrorism and there is no question of bowing before it.”

Modi added “The UN could not perform its duty in this regard…if the UN does not address this problem, it will not be too far before the world body loses its relevance, During the last few years, 90 countries have faced terror attacks, with hundreds falling victims. In my talks here, the main topic was terrorism. They have told me you have been suffering for the last 40 years.

The PM also announced relief from higher rates of TDS for NRIs who did not have Permanent Account Number (PAN). “NRIs who did not have PAN earlier had to face higher rates of TDS. They will get relief (mukti)… We will also increase the free baggage limit for NRIs. For FDI investment, NRIs will get same incentives as other investors,” he said.

Modi also said ‘This has not happened because of Naseeb or Modi, but because of people. During the last two consecutive years, there have been droughts in different parts of India, but the country still has made progress at fast rate. If our intentions are good, nobody can stop India from progressing,” he said”.
