Terrorism is a significant threat to peace and security, prosperity and people.

Despite fearful rhetoric to the contrary, terrorism is not a transcendent threat. A terrorist attack cannot possibly destroy our country's way of life; it's only our reaction to that attack that can do that kind of damage.

Terrorism should be seen in the light of the country's security and not from the narrow perspective of caste, creed and religion.

Terrorists cannot threaten the survival of a great nation.

The war against terrorism is terrorism.

Politicisation of terrorism for narrow gains is not good for society in general and the country in particular.

Well, one thing's very clear, that terrorism isn't just a threat which is external to Western countries. It's not simply a foreign menace that comes from overseas to strike our cities. It can and it does, as we now know, come from within our own countries and from inside our own populations.
