“In her speech EAM @SushmaSwaraj has rightly emphasised on the need to end all forms of terror & make the world a peaceful place to live in.”
“Fully agree with you @SushmaSwaraj ji, empowering the girl child is vital to bring about a change in society,” he said referring to her speech.
In her speech, Sushma Swaraj hit out at Pakistan and also told the UNGA that the world cannot afford to differentiate between good terror and bad terror.
