Terrorism — especially the threat posed by Pakistani militants to India — dominated the recently concluded BRICS summit at Goa.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi described Pakistan as the ‘mother-ship’ of terrorism in South Asia and advocated its diplomatic isolation by the international community.
Although other BRICS members agreed on the need to counter terrorism as a global threat, they remained silent on the problem faced by India from Pakistan-backed terrorist groups.
A meeting of the seven BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-sectoral Scientific and Technical and Economic Cooperation) countries, which include Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bhutan and Nepal, too debated terrorism and supported India.
