BRICS Condemns Pahalgam Terror Attack in Unified Statement

The BRICS nations issued a strong condemnation of the terror attack in Pahalgam, calling it criminal and unjustifiable regardless of motivation, time, or place. The statement emphasized that terrorism should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization, or ethnic group, and that those involved must be held accountable and brought to justice.

The collective condemnation of the Pahalgam attack was welcomed by political leaders, who viewed it as a significant diplomatic achievement for India as the chair of BRICS. India’s leadership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi was noted for championing cooperation, peaceful conflict resolution, and strengthening the voice of the Global South. However, some voices called for the BRICS statement to have also addressed the devastation in Gaza and the US-Israeli military actions against Iran, arguing that there should be no hierarchy of victims or selective outrage.

Experts highlighted that civilian blood has no nationality and that international justice must avoid double standards. The BRICS declaration was seen as a demonstration of India’s ability to build global consensus against terrorism while promoting a more representative and balanced world order.
