India’s Firm Stance at BRICS: Condemning the Pahalgam Attacks

Following recent diplomatic complexities, including the joint statement issued with the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) just days ago, and mounting domestic pressure concerning India’s diplomatic efforts, the BRICS declaration took a decisive step by strongly condemning the horrific Pahalgam attacks.

A Shift Towards Assertive Diplomacy?

This strong condemnation marks a significant departure from previous ambiguities and signals India’s resolve to prioritize its security concerns on the global stage. The nation’s firm stance at BRICS suggests a potential shift towards a more assertive and proactive foreign policy.

No More Double Standards

The clear condemnation at BRICS, after the perceived softer approach in the SCO statement, indicates that India is pushing back against what some see as double standards in addressing terrorism. This sends a powerful message that India expects consistent and unequivocal condemnation of such acts, regardless of the forum.
