Doval raises concerns over double-standards on terrorism in Moscow

National Security Adviser Ajit Doval on Thursday said there cannot be “double standards” in the fight against terrorism and stressed the need for a unified global response to terror threats. He was addressing  the first International Security Forum and the 14th Meeting of High Representatives for Security Matters in Moscow. Doval said responsible nations must make clear choices on whether they support sponsors of terrorism or counter them with decisive action. He underlined the need for urgent reforms in global institutions and structures established after the Second World War in 1945, saying they must be made more effective in addressing present-day international security challenges. Doval said,'Power is no longer concentrated in the few hands. The multipolar world is emerging. Global South wants its seat at the table."
