At BRICS, PM Modi warns nations supporting terror 'must pay the price' as bloc slams Pahalgam attack
NEW DELHI: In an unambiguous show of unity, BRICS leaders condemned the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in the strongest terms and demanded urgent reforms to the global governance architecture, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi forcefully batting for the rightful place of the Global South in the world order. "We condemn in the strongest terms the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April 2025, during which 26 people were killed," the BRICS Leaders' Declaration said. "We reaffirm our commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including the cross-border movement of terrorists, terrorism financing, and safe havens. We urge to ensure zero tolerance for terrorism and reject double standards in countering terrorism," it added. And in a hard-hitting address at the summit, PM Modi called out countries that support terrorism—directly or indirectly—saying they "must pay the price." He urged BRICS to take a clear and united stand for overcoming terrorism, saying that "there is no room for double standards." "For global peace and prosperity, BRICS nations must adopt a clear and unified stance on overcoming terrorism," Modi said. "On a subject like terrorism, there is no room for double standards! If any country provides direct or indirect support to terrorism, it must pay the price for it. If any country provides direct or indirect support to terrorism, it must pay the price," he added. Calling the Pahalgam terror attack a direct assault on India's identity, Modi said the killing of 26 innocent people was "a blow to the soul of India and to humanity itself" and thanked friendly countries that stood with New Delhi during the tragedy but cautioned that moral clarity on terrorism must be non-negotiable. "We cannot weigh the victims of terrorism and its supporters on the same scale," said the prime minister, adding: "Condemning terrorism must be a principle—not a convenience." "There must be absolutely no hesitation in imposing sanctions against terrorists. We cannot weigh victims of terrorism and its supporters on the same scale. Any silent support or approval to terrorism for personal or political interests must be unacceptable," he added.

At BRICS Summit, PM's "21st Century Software, 20th Century Typewriter" Swipe
Rio de Janeiro: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the 17th BRICS Summit on Sunday, underscored the urgent need for comprehensive reforms in global institutions to address the marginalisation of the Global South as well as the challenges of the 21st century, noting that the Global South has often been a victim of "double standards". During his address, the Prime Minister highlighted the systemic inequalities and inefficiencies that the Global South faced, noting that the interests of the region have never been "prioritised". "The Global South has often been a victim of double standards. Whether it is development, distribution of resources, or security-related issues, the interests of the Global South have not been prioritised. On issues like climate finance, sustainable development, and technology access, the Global South has often received nothing but token gestures," he stated. Pointing to the historical neglect of two-thirds of humanity in 20th-century-formed institutions, PM Modi argued that countries with significant contributions to the global economy remain under-represented at decision-making tables, undermining the credibility and effectiveness of these bodies. "Two-thirds of humanity has not been adequately represented in the global institutions formed in the 20th century. Countries that have a major contribution to today's global economy have not been given a place at the decision-making table. This is not just a question of representation but also of credibility and effectiveness. Without the Global South, these institutions seem like a mobile with a SIM card but no network. These institutions are unable to deal with the challenges of the 21st century. Whether it is the ongoing conflicts in different parts of the world, the pandemic, the economic crisis, or newly emerging challenges in cyber and space, these institutions have no solutions," he stated. PM Modi's address called for a radical overhaul, not merely symbolic changes, but tangible reforms in governance structures, voting rights, and leadership positions, calling for a "multipolar and inclusive world order," advocating for a paradigm shift in how global institutions operate. "Today the world needs a new multipolar and inclusive world order. This will have to start with comprehensive reforms in global institutions. Reforms should not be merely symbolic, but their real impact should also be visible. There should be changes in governance structures, voting rights and leadership positions. The challenges of the countries of the Global South should be given priority in policy-making," the PM noted. The Prime Minister also drew a parallel to technological obsolescence, noting, "In the age of AI, where technology is updated every week, it is not acceptable for a global institution not to be updated even once in eighty years. 21st-century software cannot be run on 20th-century typewriters." This metaphor underscored the urgency of modernising institutions like the UN Security Council, WTO, and Multilateral Development Banks to reflect contemporary realities and address emerging challenges effectively. The Prime Minister also highlighted the expansion of BRICS as a model for adaptability and reform, welcoming Indonesia's recent inclusion and acknowledging the bloc's evolving role. "The expansion of BRICS, the joining of new friends, is proof that BRICS is an organisation that has the ability to change itself according to time. Now we will have to show the same willpower for reforms in institutions like the UN Security Council, WTO, and Multilateral Development Banks... On behalf of India, I extend my heartiest congratulations and best wishes to my friend, President Prabowo, on Indonesia joining the BRICS family," he said. Expressing India's commitment to global welfare, PM Modi stated, "India has always considered it its responsibility to work in the interest of humanity, rising above its interests. We are fully committed to making constructive contributions on all subjects, along with the BRICS countries." He also praised Brazil's Presidency under President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for infusing "new momentum and energy" into BRICS cooperation, likening it to a "double espresso shot", and extended appreciation for Lula's vision and commitment. Earlier, PM Modi, along with other leaders, participated in the traditional family photo session at the 17th BRICS Summit held at the Museum of Modern Art in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro. The family photo marked a significant moment of unity and collaboration among the countries that the grouping represents. The photo showed Brazilian President Lula da Silva and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa along with leaders and representatives of seven other member countries with Prime Minister Modi. The Prime Minister stated that the moment reaffirmed the leaders' commitment to closer cooperation and shared growth as the grouping holds immense potential to shape a more inclusive and equitable global future. "With fellow BRICS leaders at the Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, reaffirming our commitment to closer cooperation and shared growth. BRICS holds immense potential to shape a more inclusive and equitable global future," PM Modi said in a post on X. The Ministry of External Affairs also took to X, noting the collective commitment of the group. "A collective commitment to addressing global challenges & promoting common values. PM Narendra Modi joined the Leaders from the BRICS countries for the family photo at the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil," MEA stated in the post on X. The summit, hosted by Brazil from July 7 to July 9, saw leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and new members Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the UAE, and Indonesia coming together during the event.

BRICS Declaration Condemns Pahalgam Terror Attack, Slams Cross-Border Terrorism
Last Updated: In a joint statement of its 17th Summit, held in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro, the leaders strongly denounced the act of terrorism in all its forms, including the cross-border terrorism The BRCIS nations on Sunday unequivocally condemned the April 22's ghastly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 individuals. In a joint statement of its 17th Summit, held in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro, the leaders of BRICS bloc–Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates– strongly denounced the act of violence and terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including the cross-border movements of terrorists, terrorism financing and safe havens. 'We express strong condemnation of any acts of terrorism as criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, whenever, wherever and by whomsoever committed. We condemn in the strongest terms the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April 2025, during which 26 people were killed and many more injured. We reaffirm our commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including the cross-border movement of terrorists, terrorism financing and safe havens," the joint declaration read. The BRICS leaders also called for those responsible for the terror attack to be held accountable and brought to justice. 'We reiterate that terrorism should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization or ethnic group and that all those involved in terrorist activities and their support must be held accountable and brought to justice in accordance with relevant national and international law. We urge to ensure zero tolerance for terrorism and reject double standards in countering terrorism," the declaration added. 'We look forward to further deepening counter-terrorism cooperation. We call for an expeditious finalization and adoption of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism in the UN framework. We call for concerted actions against all UN designated terrorists and terrorist entities," it added. Without taking names, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday called out western hypocrisy and said condemning terrorism should not simply be a 'convenience" but a matter of 'principle". 'Condemning terrorism should be our principle, not just a convenience. If we first see in which country the attack took place, against whom, then it would be a betrayal against humanity," Modi said during his speech at the session for 'Peace and security and reform of global governance'. 'Friends, there should be no hesitation in imposing sanctions against terrorists. Victims and supporters of terrorism cannot be weighed on the same scale. For personal or political gain, giving silent consent to terrorism, supporting terror or terrorists, should not be acceptable under any circumstances. There should be no difference between words and actions regarding terrorism. If we cannot do this, then the question naturally arises whether we are serious about the fight against terrorism or not," he said. 17th BRICS Summit The summit, hosted by Brazil from 6 to 7 July, focused on key global issues ranging from multilateralism and artificial intelligence to climate action, peace and security, and economic resilience. PM Modi exchanged views with other leaders on all these matters during the summit sessions. BRICS, originally formed by Brazil, Russia, India, and China, expanded in 2010 with the inclusion of South Africa. In a major development in 2024, the group extended membership to six additional countries: Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Pahalgam Terror Attack In one of the biggest attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, Lashkar-linked terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday, April 22, killing at least 26 people, including foreign tourists, and injuring many others. The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar offshoot, claimed responsibility for the attack, although it later backtracked after massive global outrage. India responded with Operation Sindoor on May 7, bombing nine terrorist camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in pre-dawn strikes that killed at least 100 militants. The operation sparked four days of cross-border fighting involving fighter jets, missiles and artillery. tags : BRICS Location : Brazil First Published: July 06, 2025, 23:28 IST News world BRICS Declaration Condemns Pahalgam Terror Attack, Slams Cross-Border Terrorism
