India to spare no efforts to fight cross-border terror: Pranab

NEW DELHI: India would "spare no efforts in tackling the multi-dimensional challenges of terror", Minister for external affairs Pranab Mukherjee said on Thursday.

Addressing a meeting of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Mukherjee said: "Security has been a concern... There are multidimensional challenges before us."

He pointed out that "terrorists from Pakistan" had targeted "financial centres" and the economy.

"Medical centres, aviation and infrastructures have not been spared. In recent times India has become a victim of terrorism including cross border terrorism. The 26/11 attacks was one such gruesome example. This needs to be tackled in a resolute manner. We will spare no efforts to deal with terrorists."
