The recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit condemned the Pahalgam terror attack and highlighted the need to combat terrorism collectively, denouncing double standards in the approach towards this global menace. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the summit, emphasized that terrorism is a challenge for all humanity, not just specific nations, and called for unity against it, especially in light of India’s suffering from terrorism for decades. He acknowledged the Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 civilian lives and was linked to Pakistan-based groups, and underscored India’s proactive stance in fighting terrorism through its role in the SCO’s Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure. Modi’s remarks, made in the presence of Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, reinforced the message that open support for terrorism by any nation is unacceptable. The summit also recognized India’s significant contributions to regional security and cooperation, with Modi framing India’s vision for the SCO around security, connectivity, and opportunity. This stance reiterates India’s commitment to addressing terrorism and enhancing regional stability while promoting a collaborative approach among member states to combat this persistent threat effectively.
