Only power of nationalism can repel elements causing terrorism: M J Akbar

Panaji, Dec 15 (UNI) Union Minister of State for External Affairs M J Akbar on Friday said that only power of nationalism can repel elements causing terrorism.
Speaking at India Ideas Conclave at a star hotel near the city, he said, ''I have always argued that if you think that there is no intellectual answer to terrorism, that there is no ideological answer to terrorism, then you are wrong. The real ideological answer to terrorism is nationalism. And this is true everywhere. It is only the forces and power of nationalism which will recognise the danger and push and drive and repel these elements away.''
He said the world must never be naive because terrorism was never a law and order problem but lot of elements of violence had been introduced to it.
