Only way to end terrorism is to follow US’ path : General Bipin Rawat

New Delhi – The country’s first Chief of Defense Staff General Bipin Rawat, while addressing the Raisina Dialogue 2020 said that until we understand and get to the root of terrorism we will have to live with it. There is a need to take a hardline approach to bring an end to terrorism, and this can only happen the way Americans started after 9/11.

He added that any country which sponsors terrorism has to be taken to task, and one such good measure is blacklisting of the country by the Financial Action Task Force.
