But unfortunately, on the same September 11, a big terrorist attack that shook the world took place in America," said Modi. e said that India has taken a bold step against terrorism in past and will continue to do so in future.
"The whole world needs to take a pledge and stand up against those who give shelter and training to the terrorist. India is very much capable of tackling the menace on its own. We have shown this in past and will continue to do so in future," said Prime Minister.
