"We do hope Pakistan authorities will be able to resolve the crisis soon. But once again it points out that terrorism is the biggest menace to world peace and tranquility and it is also a serious destabilising force in this subcontinent. And we do hope the international community will have to collectively fight against this menace and bring and end to it," said Pranab Mukherjee, Union External Affairs Minister.
