Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a powerful speech at the BRICS Session on Peace and Security today. He called terrorism as the biggest threat that humanity is facing and referred to the recent Pahalgam terror attack as a direct attack on India’s identity and dignity.
PM Modi said, “Terrorism is the biggest challenge humanity is currently facing. The cowardly and brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22 was not only a setback for India, but for all of humanity.”
PM Modi condemned terrorism
He also urged the global community, particularly BRICS nations in order to adopt a principled stance against terrorism. “Condemning terrorism must not be selective or driven by convenience. If we hesitate or differentiate based on geography or political considerations, we betray the very essence of humanity,” Modi clarified.
Stressing on India’s agony, he acknowledged friendly countries for their support to India in its hour of urgency. Modi has made it clear that staying silent or turning a blind eye to terrorism, whether for political advantage or personal reasons can never be justified at any point. “There should be no dichotomy between our words and action on terrorism,” he added. Modi gave a hint at greater accountability and sharper international sanctions on terror networks and sponsors.
