Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, who is leading an Indian Parliamentary delegation to New Zealand, on Sunday stressed on the need for global efforts to to tackle terrorism as she condoled the loss of lives in a terror attack on an army base at Uri in Kashmir.
"I am extremely pained to learn that a number of precious lives of our soldiers were lost in this cowardly attack. It is high time that terrorism, in all its forms and manifestations, is condemned by the international community and joint global efforts are made to wipe out this menace.
