New Delhi

Emphasizing on a collective fight against terrorism, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said a global definition for terrorism is important as narratives of good terrorism, bad terrorism, small terrorism and big terrorism cannot go together.

Addressing the valedictory ceremony of the 90th Annual General Assembly of Interpol, Shah said, "India is one of the oldest members of Interpol. Such an organisation is important for international cooperation. I appreciate efforts taken by Interpol across the world to maintain law and security."

The Home Minister said India has advised Interpol to establish a real-time information-action network against terrorism activities. "India has always stood with anti-terrorism activities worldwide," he said.

Shah said India has formed Indian Cyber Forensic Centre to keep a check on rising cybercrimes. He said terrorism is the "biggest violator" of human rights.

"Crime has now become borderless. We have to think above conventional geographical crimes. Across-border, cooperation is necessary to fight cross-border terrorism. Interpol is essential for it ," added Shah.

The four-day 90th General Assembly of Interpol was held in New Delhi between 18-21 and delegations from 195 member countries comprising Ministers, police and intelligence chiefs of countries and heads of national central bureaus, and senior police officers attended the event.
