The BRICS summit on Sunday saw PM Modi making a passionate petition to improve global institutions, while the issue of terror also overshadowed. “Condemning terror should be our principle, not only one facility. If we see for the first time in which country an attack took place and against whom, it would be a betrayal of humanity, “he said.Modi said that the attack in Pahalgam was a shock not only for India but also for “complete humanity”, in which there should be no hesitation in banning terrorists, and that the victims and supporters of terror cannot be weighed on the same scale.BRICS condemned the initiative attack in the “strongest words”, and supported the widespread improvement of the UNSC – two major takeaairs for India from the Rio Summit.
Only the path of peace for the welfare of humanity: PM Modi
PM Modi also called upon the BRICs to take a clear and integrated stand to control terrorism. “On a subject like terrorism, there is no place for double standards. If any country provides direct or indirect assistance to terrorism, it will have to pay the price for it,” the PM said.The PM said, “For personal or political gains, silence for terrorism, to support terror or terrorists, should not be acceptable under any circumstances. There should be no difference between words and actions about terrorism,” the PM said. “If we cannot do this, the question naturally arises whether we are serious about the fight against terrorism,” he said.Describing the human situation in Gaza as due to great concern, Modi said that India firmly believes that no matter how difficult the circumstances are, the path of peace is the only option for the welfare of humanity.“India is the land of Lord Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi. There is no place for us for war and violence. India supports every effort that takes the world away from partition and struggle and leads it to dialogue, cooperation and coordination, and increases solidarity and faith, “he said.On reforms, he said that new members with BRICS have been included, the same fixation should be shown to improvement institutions such as UNSC, WTO and multilateral development banks.In his address, he demanded to run his point on reforms, stating that at the age of AI, where technology develops every week, it is unacceptable for global institutions without 80 years of improvement. The Prime Minister said, “You cannot run the 21st century software on the 20th century typewriter.”The PM said that two-thirds of humanity still lacks proper representation in global institutions built in the 20th century. “Many countries that play an important role in today’s global economy have not yet been given a seat on the decision making table. It is not only about representation, it is also about credibility and effectiveness,” he said, “With Global South, with Global South, these institutions are like a mobile phone with a sim card but no network.They are unable to work properly or meet the 21st century challenges, Modi said, Global South has often faced double standards.He said, “Whether it is about development, distribution of resources, or safety related matters, the interests of the global South have not been given proper importance,” he said whether it was the challenges emerging in the ongoing struggles, epidemic, economic crises, or cyber or space, global institutions had failed to provide solutions.
