Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said at the BRICS virtual
summit that member nations should understand security concerns of
each other and provide mutual support in the designation of
terrorists and that this sensitive issue should not be
'politicised', according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA),
Trend reports citing The Tribune.
The comments came days after China blocked a joint proposal by
India and the US to designate Pakistan-based terrorist Abdul Rehman
Makki as an international terrorist under the UN sanctions
committee. In a statement, the MEA provided the details of the
prime minister's suggestions and comments at the two-day BRICS
(Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa) summit that concluded on
Friday. 'The Prime Minister also noted that as BRICS member we
should understand security concerns of each other and provide
mutual support in designation of terrorists; this sensitive issue
should not be politicised,' the MEA said.
After China blocked the proposal to designate Makki, Indian
government sources said the decision runs counter to its claim of
combating terrorism and signals its 'double standards'. Makki has
been involved in raising funds, recruiting and radicalising youths
to resort to violence and planning attacks in India, particularly
in Jammu and Kashmir, they said.
The PM also highlighted India's development partnership with
Africa, Central Asia, South East Asia, and from Pacific to the
Caribbean, the MEA said.
