Sushma Swaraj in her address at the OIC meeting said that it is time for all to unite and finish the global terrorism.
She said, "If we want to save humanity, we must tell the states who provide shelter and funding to terrorists, to dismantle the infrastructure of the terrorist camps and stop providing shelter and funding to the terror organisations based in that country."
"This is not a clash of civilisations or cultures, but a contest of ideas and ideals," she added.
