JAMMU, July 7: BJP spokesperson for Jammu & Kashmir UT, Gaurav Gupta, today said that Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s forceful and uncompromising address at the BRICS Summit 2025 has sent a clear and much-needed message to the global community – that terrorism cannot be fought with half measures, diplomatic silence, or selective outrage.
Gaurav Gupta pointed out that in stark contrast to the recent SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) Summit, where the brutal Pahalgam terror attack failed to find any mention – ultimately resulting in no joint declaration being issued – the BRICS Summit rose to the occasion. The BRICS joint communiqué explicitly referred to the Pahalgam attack, condemned it in the strongest terms, and stood in full solidarity with the victims and their families. “This is a significant diplomatic success for India and a testament to PM Modi’s unrelenting commitment to exposing terror sponsors and securing international acknowledgment for India’s fight against cross-border terrorism,” Gupta said.
He added that PM Modi’s remarks – “India is a victim of terror; some countries are exporters of it” – were not only bold but long overdue. These words reflect the lived reality of Jammu & Kashmir, a region that has paid the highest price for decades of Pakistan-sponsored terror. Gupta said it was heartening to see BRICS recognize this reality, where the SCO had failed due to pressure from certain member states that continue to shield or support terrorist elements.
Gaurav Gupta welcomed the Prime Minister’s direct call for global sanctions on countries that provide safe haven, funding, and ideological cover to terrorism, emphasizing that “there can be no ifs and buts in the fight against terror.” He stated that PM Modi’s leadership at BRICS highlighted not only India’s moral clarity but also its growing diplomatic influence, especially in mobilizing consensus on issues where the world has remained divided or hesitant.
