Barack Obama, who begins
his three-day visit to India on Sunday, said, “As President, I have made sure
that the U.S. has been unrelenting in its fight against terrorist groups — a
fight in which Indians and Americans are united.”
He said those killed
in the September 11, 2001 terror attacks in the U.S. included Indians and there
were Americans among those who were killed in the Nov 26, 2008 Mumbai terror
attack.
Pakistan on Thursday
banned Mumbai attack mastermind Hafeez Saeed-led Jamaat-ud-Dawa and slapped
foreign travel restrictions on Saeed.
“On my previous visit
to India, my first stop was the memorial at the Taj Hotel to pay my respects to
the victims, meet with survivors and send a strong message to the Indian people
that we stand together in defence of our security and our way of life,” he
added.
The U.S. President
said that like other people across the world, Indians and Americans were
horrified at the senseless slaughter of so many students and teachers at a
school in Peshawar in Pakistan on December 16 last year, which was “a painful
reminder that terrorists threaten us all”.
Obama Also added that “We have deepened our
cooperation against terrorism, and we work together to prevent the spread of
nuclear weapons.” read more ..........
