It was time both India and Pakistan realised that they have a common enemy -- terrorism --and they need to fight it together, Pakistani-Canadian cleric Tahirul Qadri said here on Sunday The money both countries spend on fighting and containing each other should be spent on development and alleviating poverty, he said in his address at the World Sufi Forum here. "India and Pakistan have fought four wars and have achieved nothing. It is time both countries realised they are not each other's enemies but have a common enemy, which is terrorism. Let's fight it together. "Poverty is pushing people into terrorism. Parents with no food to feed their children are selling them to terrorists. Let's end this poverty and deprivation," he told a gathering of thousands at the Ramlila Ground here. "They (Islamic State) are indulging in bloodshed, rapes and destruction in the name of Islam. We condemn this extremism and all forms of terrorism," Qadri said.
