PM Modi urges action against terrorism, calls out double standard

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called on G7 leaders to take strong global action against terrorism and stressed the need to act firmly against those who "promote and support" it. He made the remarks during his address at the G7 Outreach Session held in Canada on Tuesday.

PM Modi said countries that support terrorism must face consequences. "For global peace and prosperity, our thought and policy must be clear – if any country supports terrorism, it will have to pay the price for it," he said.

He also pointed out a double standard in international actions. "On one hand, we are quick to impose all kinds of sanctions based on our own preferences. On the other hand, countries that openly support terrorism are rewarded," he said.

MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a post on X, "PM reiterated India’s stand against terrorism & thanked the leaders for condemning the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack. He urged them to galvanize global action against terrorism & underlined the need to take strict action against those who promote & support terrorism."

The April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, claimed 26 lives. In response, India carried out Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

They spoke about strengthening trade ties and boosting cooperation in economic matters.

India and Canada also agreed to appoint new high commissioners to normalise consular and trade services, after a period of diplomatic strain.
