New Delhi: The 11th BRICS parliamentary platform condemned the terrorist attack on 22 April in Pahgam with 26 innocent citizens to be largely in place, triggering tension with Pakistan, which ended with Operation Sindoor.“We express the strong condemnation of any acts of terrorism as criminal and inseparable, regardless of their inspiration, whenever, wherever and by whom.Following its three-day meeting in Brasilia, the formation adopted by the forum, where the Indian delegation was led by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, has been observed by Pakistan a repetition of Alibi used to justify anti-India terror.Sankalp said, “We confirm our commitment to combat terrorism in all our forms and manifestations, including the movement of terrorists, financing terrorism and safe havens.”In his speech, Birla emphasized the need for joint efforts to curb financial assistance to terrorist organizations, increase intelligence sharing, prevent misuse of emerging technologies and promote cooperation in investigation and judicial processes. He also highlighted India’s strong and clear position on various major topics, especially global cooperation against terrorism, a justified and balanced international system, participation in technological innovation and democratic exchange.On terrorism, the parliamentary platform asked for a reaction to zero tolerance to terrorism, dismissing double standards in combating it, while “terrorism should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization or ethnic group, and that all those involved in terrorist activities should be held accountable and their support should be held accountable and the relevant should be brought to justice according to national and international law.,“We all say this for concrete action against the United Nations Nominated Terror and Terrorist Institutions,” it further said.Birla on Thursday created a strong pitch for cooperation between BRICS countries to get increased representation for developing countries in multilateral institutions. His pitch for BRICS Soldidarity matched with the signs of America’s irritation with the membership of India’s grouping, which is the same with a call for de-delarization. US Commerce Secretary Robert Lutnik said earlier this week that India raised the US incorrectly, among other things, joined the BRICS.
