In an interview to German newspaper 'Handelsblatt' PM Modi said, "Europe has been hit hard by terrorism".
"To our mind, terrorism is the gravest challenge facing humanity. Europe must play a lead role in developing an effective global response under the aegis of the United Nations to deal with this menace," he addedsaid.
His remarks assume significance as they come in the wake of a spate of terror attacks that have struck European countries like Germany, France, the UK and Sweden recently.
