Jan 31 (PTI) President A P J Abdul Kalam today said terrorism emanated from certain long-standing issues, including poverty, and suggested a three-point global plan to tackle the menace.
"<b>I believe terrorism is a phenomenon which comes out of certain long-standing historical issues," </b>he told journalists accompanying him to a three-nation tour to Singapore, Philippines and South Korea.
To tackle the problem he outlined a three-dimensional model - (i) educational value system, (ii) transforming religion into a spiritual force and (iii) poverty eradication.
"<b>As long as poverty is there, there will be some element of terrorism," Kalam said.</b>
"We need an integrated solution encompassing the entire world," he said.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
