Vientiane: Stepping up his attack on Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday said there is “one country in our neighbourhood” which “produces and exports” terror as he pressed the international community to isolate and sanction “this” instigator.

'Stop exporter of terror'
“There’s one country in our neighbourhood whose competitive advantage rests solely in producing and exporting terrorism,” he said in his address at the East Asia Summit, without naming Pakistan. “The time has come for us to stop this global exporter of terror,” Modi said. Earlier, while addressing the 14th ASEAN-India Summit here, Modi expressed deep concern at the rising “export of terror”, in an apparent reference to Pakistan, saying it is a common security threat to the region.
The Prime Minister also noted that growing radicalism through the ideology of hatred and spread of extreme violence are the other security threats. “Export of terror, growing radicalisation and spread of extreme violence are common security threats to our societies,” he said in his attack on Pakistan amid escalating war of words between New Delhi and Islamabad.
Speaking at the East Asia Summit with US President Barack Obama and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in attendance, Modi said, “This (terrorism) export is reducing space for peace and increasing space for violence and putting at risk peace and prosperity of all.” “The time has come to isolate and sanction this instigator,” Modi said.
