PM Modi’s Message Against Terrorism Echoed in SCO Summit Declaration
SCO Stands with India on Pahalgam Attack
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) has strongly condemned the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, where 26 innocent people lost their lives. The group expressed deep sympathy and condolences to the victims’ families and those injured in the attack.
The declaration from SCO clearly stated that those responsible—whether attackers, planners, or supporters—must face justice.
“No Double Standards on Terrorism” – SCO Repeats Modi’s Message
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called out the global community for its inconsistent approach to terrorism. He said that “double standards” are unacceptable, and all nations must speak in one voice against terrorism.
The SCO included this exact message in its official statement, showing support for India’s long-held position.
“We must clearly say that double standards in fighting terrorism cannot be allowed,” Modi told leaders at the summit.
Key Points from the SCO Declaration
- Condemnation of the Pahalgam terror attack
- Solidarity with the families of victims
- Demand for justice against those behind the attack
- Rejection of double standards in counter-terrorism
- Call for action against cross-border terrorism
- Emphasis on global unity to fight terrorism
Modi: Terrorism Is a Threat to All Humanity
PM Modi said that India has suffered from terrorism for over 40 years. He called the Pahalgam attack a crime against humanity, not just an attack on India.
“This attack challenges every country that believes in peace and humanity,” he said.
Modi reminded the summit that security, peace, and stability are key for any nation’s development. He urged all countries to come together to fight terrorism, radicalism, and separatism.
Diplomatic Win for India Despite Pakistan’s Presence
This joint declaration is being seen as a major diplomatic success for India. Notably, Pakistan, a member of the SCO, also agreed to the strong anti-terror message. This is significant because Pakistan has often been accused of supporting terrorism on Indian soil.
India’s efforts to isolate terrorism on the global stage received a clear boost.
Summit Optics: Modi, Putin, and Xi Show Unity
The SCO summit in Tianjin, China, also sent strong visual signals of unity among major powers.
- PM Modi, President Putin, and President Xi Jinping were seen laughing, shaking hands, and talking warmly.
- Modi and Putin walked hand in hand, showing their close partnership.
- Their easy body language suggested strong cooperation, even as the US pushes its own global agenda.
These moments were not just symbolic. They showed that India, Russia, and China are willing to work together, despite challenges.
India Strengthens Its Global Anti-Terror Voice
The SCO’s united stand against terrorism and its support for India’s message marks a key moment in global diplomacy. With powerful countries standing together, the world is one step closer to a stronger, more united fight against terrorism.
India’s consistent call to end double standards in this battle is finally getting global attention.
