    FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM HAS TO BE COMPREHENSIVE: SHEKHAWAT

    Yerevan (Armenia), Oct 6 (PTI) Asserting that the fight against
    terrorism has to be comprehensive and sustained, India today said
    the elements who "instigate or assist" the menace in any form need
    to be isolated as much as those who perpetrate it.

    Vice President Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, here on a two-day visit on
    the last leg of his three-nation tour, also said the UN needed to
    be reformed urgently as the present system suffered from "democracy
    deficit" and wanted the reforms, including expansion of the Security
    Council, be carried out expeditiously to "judiciously reflect the
    present global scenario".

    Addressing the National Assembly of Armenia, the Vice President
    dwelt at length on the issue of terrorism, saying democaracies are
    "haunted and threatened most by terrorism".

    He said the fight against the scourge has to be comprehensive and
    sustained. "We need to isolate the elements who instigate, support
    or assist terrorism, in any form, as much as those who perpetrate it."

    The Vice President, who earlier held detailed discussions with
    Armenian President Robert Kocharian, said India greatly appreciated
    Armenia's support to its candidature for a permanent seat in the UN
    Security Council.

    He also thanked Armenia for its principled and consistent support to
    India on the issue of terrorism and said that to accomplish the task
    of development without any distraction or hindrance, an international
    environment of peace conducive to growth was needed. PTI
