Need to be careful about providing excuses for terrorist acts since there cannot be any excuse for terrorism: India

U.N. Ambassador T.S. Tirumurti said the Security Council has recognised terrorism as one of the biggest challenges facing humanity
India has said that countries need to be careful about providing excuses for terrorist acts since there cannot be any excuse for terrorism and must not divide themselves on combating one of the biggest challenges facing humanity.
India is currently the Chair of the U.N. Security Council Counter-terrorism Committee for the year 2022.
“India will chair the Counter-Terrorism Committee this year. It is significant since counter-terrorism is one of our key priorities in the Security Council and we will be chairing the Committee in the 75th year of our independence,” India’s Permanent Representative to the U.N. Ambassador T.S. Tirumurti told PTI on January 10.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
