India Condemns Terrorism
No incidents…
“ Now we know why terrorism has hit tourism the most. Tourism is a
foe of terrorism. Whereas terrorism feeds on intolerance and
arrogance, tourism breed tolerance and empathy. Terrorism seeks to
erect walls of hatred between faiths and communities. Tourism
breaks such barriers. Terrorism detests pluralism, whereas tourism
celebrates it. Terrorism has no respect for human life. Tourism pays
a tribute to all that is beautiful in nature and human life. Terrorism
may have temporarily hit tourism in this metaphorical battle
between the two. But tourism will make a major contribution to the
eventual defeat of terrorism and all other manifestations of
fanaticism”.
Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee
Prime Minister of India
