BRICS Slams Pahalgam Terror, Backs India

 

Rio de Janeiro, July 7, 2025: BRICS nations united in condemning the Pahalgam terror attack "in the strongest terms" during their summit, strongly backing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for decisive global action and sanctions against terrorists, including implicit criticism of China's UN stance.

Modi's Forceful Address:
Addressing the peace and security session, PM Modi labelled the April attack – which killed 26 – a direct assault on India's "soul and dignity" and a blow to humanity. He demanded unwavering global action: "Condemning terrorism should be our principle, not just a convenience." Modi stressed that countries victimized by terror and those supporting it cannot be treated equally, urging: "There should be no hesitation in imposing sanctions against terrorists." He warned that hesitation based on where attacks occur or who is targeted is a "betrayal against humanity."

Indirect Rebuke to China:
Modi's remarks implicitly targeted China, which has repeatedly blocked UN efforts to designate Pakistan-based terrorists. He condemned "silent support" for terrorism, driven by "personal or political reasons," demanding alignment between words and actions. "If we cannot do this, then the question naturally arises whether we are serious about the fight against terrorism or not," he asserted.
