Terror attacks a clarion call for believers in humanity to unite: Swaraj

" Both these developments, taken together, are a clarion call for all those who believe in humanity to join hands to decisively and comprehensively defeat terrorism. On our part, India stands ready to play our role in this global endeavour," she said.
