New Delhi: President Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday expressed concern over the threats posed by terrorism and declared that India and other countries will defeat it decisively.

Addressing a joint session of Parliament, he said India would "actively collaborate" with other countries in "decisively defeating" terrorism.

"My government is committed to combating terrorism and ensuring that the perpetrators of such acts are brought to justice."
