Preachers of hate threatening society, says PM

July 11, 2016 20:04

Amid the expanding footprint of ISIS across the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today warned that "preachers of hate and violence" are threatening the fabric of the society and asked the youth to build a counter narrative to extremist ideologies.

He also emphasised that those giving shelter to terrorists and using them as political instruments must be condemned, an apparent reference to Pakistan.

Addressing the students at the University of Nairobi here, Modi pitched for a world free from terror and hate, saying safety and security of people and societies is essential for realising the benefits of the economic progress.

"Preachers of hate and violence are threatening the fabric of our society," he said.

Underlining the need to counter radicalization, he said "Youth can play an important role in building a counter narrative to extremist ideologies."
