Taking on Pakistan on the issue of terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi dubbed it as the “mothership” of terrorism to which terror modules around the world were connected and asked BRICS nation leaders to act together against the threat posed by it.
In a forceful condemnation of Pakistan, which he did not directly name, Modi told the five-nation BRICS Summit here that a country in India’s neighbourhood shelters not just terrorists but nurtures a mindset that proclaimed that terrorism was justified for political gains.
“In our own region, terrorism poses a grave threat to peace, security and development. Tragically its mothership is a country in India’s neighbourhood. Terror modules around the world are linked to this mothership,” he told Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Brazilian President Michel Temer and South African President Jacob Zuma at the BRICS Summit’s “restricted” segment.
