Srinagar, Sep 13: Senior BJP leader and BJP J&K spokesman Altaf Thakur on Sunday described the BRICS nations’ condemnation of the Pahalgam terror attack and cross-border terrorism as a major diplomatic victory for India, saying the development represented a setback for Pakistan and a warning to those sponsoring terrorism.
“BRICS nations condemning the Pahalgam terror attack and cross-border terrorism is a big win for India and its foreign policy,” Thakur said.
In a statement, he said the collective stand of the grouping demonstrated that India’s persistent efforts to expose terrorism before the international community had gained wider recognition.
“This is a defeat for Pakistan’s propaganda and a warning to those who believe they can use terrorism as an instrument of state policy. The world is increasingly unwilling to accept double standards on terrorism,” he said.
Thakur said the acceptance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a stronger, more cooperative and secure Global South reflected India’s growing diplomatic influence.
“PM Modi’s vision is gaining acceptance across the world. India being seen as the best bet for BRICS is a diplomatic achievement. Our country’s economic strength, democratic credentials and strategic importance have given it a central role in shaping the future of the grouping,” he said.
He said the BRICS declaration sent a clear message that terrorism could not be justified under any pretext and that those involved in terror activities and their support networks must be held accountable.
