Brics nations condemn Pahalgam attack, seek action against terror safe havens
Backed by the Pakistani state, UN-designated terrorist Hafiz Saeed-led LeT and its proxy TRF carried out the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 last year
The 18th BRICS Summit, hosted by India, adopted the New Delhi Declaration on Saturday, strongly condemning the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, 2025. The attack resulted in the deaths of 26 people and numerous injuries. In the declaration, BRICS countries emphasized the need for "zero tolerance for terrorism" and rejected the use of double standards in addressing the global threat.
The terrorist attack was described as criminal and unjustifiable, irrespective of the reasons, locations, or perpetrators.
BRICS reiterated their commitment to combat terrorism in all its forms, including the cross-border movement of terrorists, financing of terrorism, and safe havens. They stressed that terrorism should not be associated with any religious, national, civilizational, or ethnic group. The member countries underscored that those involved in terrorist activities or supporting them must be held accountable and brought to justice under applicable national and international laws.
The declaration marked a significant step towards India's aspirations to play a more prominent role in global governance, particularly in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The statement on terrorism, coupled with BRICS' commitment to reforming the UNSC, bolsters India's efforts to expand its influence in international decision-making processes.
