PAHALGAM terror attack was a grim reminder that terrorism is a global menace that needs to be addressed by humanity in unison, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said on Friday. He was speaking at the inaugural session of the two-day vice-chancellors conference at the Raj Bhavan, Udhagamandalam.

Dhankhar also appealed to the people to rise above political, personal and other interests to prioritise national interest. Bharat, he said, was the world's most peace-loving nation and her civilisation ethos reflected in "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (the doctrine that sees the world as a family) was getting global resonance.

Governor R N Ravi, and V-Cs joined the V-P in observing a minute's silence in memory of those killed in the Pahalgam terrorist attack in J&K on April 22.
