India’s Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj on Friday addressed the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) meeting in Abu Dhabi where she condemned “states who provide shelter and funding to terrorists” in what some consider to be an attack on Pakistan. It may be mentioned that Pakistan earlier announced its intention to boycott the meeting after OIC failed to rescind the invitation extended to Swaraj. Tensions between the two countries have been at an all-time high after the February 14 attack on an Indian paramilitary envoy in Pulwama. She added: “Terrorism is destroying lives, destabilising regions and putting the world at great peril. This menace cannot be stopped only through diplomatic and military means, we have to work within our communities,” she added.
