another act of terrorism.....

The Delhi bomb-blast was a colossal tragedy and all of us felt for the people of delhi in that moment of grief. It is regrettable that the world woke up to the threat of terrorism only after the horrific events of the day. Terrorism cannot, and should not, be dealt with in a selective and segmented manner within the framework of individual nation states and their priorities. We should understand that terrorism is indivisible, international and is perpetuated not only by non-state actors but also by some governments, as an instrument of their state policy. The approach that says,"the terrorism I face is of higher priority than the terrorism you face" is illogical, and has dangerous implications for global stability and security. Equally grave is the cross-border flow of funds through different channels that help support terrorist organizations. This must be dealt with comprehensively and globally.
