At the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit 2025, India delivered a strong message against terrorism, subtly calling out Pakistan without naming it directly. In a sharply worded statement, India warned against "double standards" in dealing with terrorism and called for uniform global condemnation of all terror activities.
🗣️ What India Said
Representing India at the high-level summit, the country's delegation said:
“There can be no justification for terrorism and no place for double standards when it comes to dealing with such threats.”
Though Pakistan was not named, the target of the message was clear — referring to countries that harbor or selectively act against terrorist groups while ignoring others that align with their strategic interests.
⚖️ The Context
India has long accused Pakistan of providing safe haven to terror outfits that operate across the border, including groups involved in attacks on Indian soil. At international platforms like the SCO, UN, and G20, India has consistently advocated for a zero-tolerance approach to terrorism, regardless of the actor or justification.
The timing of the statement comes as cross-border tensions continue to simmer and as new regional alignments emerge.
🛡️ A Call for Collective Action
India urged SCO nations to:
Unite against terrorism in all forms
Avoid differentiating between "good" and "bad" terrorists
Support coordinated intelligence sharing and enforcement mechanisms
The Indian side emphasized that regional peace and economic development cannot happen without addressing terror infrastructure head-on.
🤝 Diplomatic Reactions
While China and Russia stressed regional cooperation, Pakistan’s delegation remained tight-lipped in response to India’s remarks. However, observers noted that India's firm stance continues to influence global narratives around South Asian security.
