India
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India reminded the world on Saturday of his country’s abiding battle against extremist groups, and took a swipe at countries that give them shelter before capping his speech with a call for an International Yoga Day.
In his maiden speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Mr. Modi, without naming names, hinted at India’s longstanding contention that its rival, Pakistan, backs groups that have carried out terrorist attacks on Indian soil.
“Some countries are giving refuge to international terrorists,” he said. “They consider terrorism to be a tool of their policy.”
Mr. Modi offered yoga as one of India’s contributions to global efforts. It is not just exercise, he said. “By changing our lifestyle and raising consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change,” he said. “Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day.”
