JAMMU: BJP Spokesperson J&K UT Gaurav Gupta said that the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s (SCO) Tianjin Declaration marks a historic moment for India and for the global fight against terrorism. For the first time, the world has spoken in one united voice not only against terrorists, but also against those who organise, fund, and sponsor terrorism.
He said the Pahalgam terror attack of April 22, 2025, in which 26 innocent lives were lost, was a barbaric act that shook the conscience of humanity. “In the Tianjin Declaration, SCO member states strongly condemned the massacre, expressed condolences to the families of the victims, and categorically stated that perpetrators, organisers and sponsors of such attacks must be brought to justice. This is a resounding endorsement of India’s long-standing stand under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji,” Gupta stated.
He said the Tianjin Declaration, adopted unanimously by all SCO member states—including Russia, China, and even Pakistan—categorically condemned the barbaric attack in which 26 innocent lives were lost. Importantly, the declaration went beyond perfunctory statements and asserted that perpetrators, organisers, and sponsors of terrorism must be brought to justice. “This is nothing less than a global endorsement of India’s long-standing stance that state-backed terrorism cannot go unpunished,” Gupta said.
Gupta underlined that the declaration assumes even greater significance because it was adopted in the presence of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Despite Pakistan’s consistent policy of nurturing and exporting terror, the SCO as a collective body has now sent out a strong and united message that the use of extremist groups for political or mercenary purposes is unacceptable.
He recalled how Prime Minister Modi Ji, while addressing the summit plenary, powerfully invoked the Pahalgam massacre as not just an attack on India, but a direct challenge to humanity itself. Modi Ji stressed that India has been at the forefront of the global fight against terrorism for four decades, opposing terror-financing and extremist networks with unwavering determination. Gupta said, “The Prime Minister’s clear stand that double standards on terrorism will no longer be accepted has now found resonance in the SCO joint declaration.”
The BJP Spokesperson further observed that the international backing for India’s position comes at a time when the nation has already undertaken bold actions such as Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev targeting militant infrastructure across the Line of Control, as well as the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, a landmark decision that demonstrates India’s zero-tolerance approach.
“India has borne the brunt of terrorism for the last forty years, with countless families shattered and countless mothers losing their sons to this menace. The SCO’s unequivocal statement of solidarity is not only recognition of India’s pain but also of India’s courage and leadership in mobilising the world against terror,” Gupta said.
He added that the united stand at Tianjin by global powers such as India, Russia, and China, alongside other SCO members, reflects a new international consensus that terrorism, separatism, and radicalism are grave threats to global peace, security, and development.
Gupta concluded by asserting: “This is a major diplomatic win for India. Prime Minister Modi Ji has ensured that the world speaks in one voice against terrorism, its perpetrators, and its sponsors. The SCO has today echoed India’s voice, proving that our fight is not just for our nation, but for humanity at large.”
