"The fact that Pahalgam itself was condemned (at the BRICS Summit) is a big thing. Please see how many allies of Pakistan were in that room.

Twenty-six people were killed in the terror attack. Reaffirming their commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, the BRICS leaders emphasised the urgent need to stop the cross-border movement of terrorists, disrupt terror financing networks and dismantle safe havens. Abdullah said th...
