Congress leader praises BRICS condemnation of Pahalgam attack, slams Modi's China outreach
Congress MLA Ghulam Ahmad Mir welcomed the BRICS declaration condemning the Pahalgam terror attack but accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of giving a warm welcome to China, which he says supported Pakistan during the Operation Sindoor standoff.
Congress representative Ghulam Ahmad Mir expressed approval of the BRICS summit’s resolution denouncing the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, describing it as a welcome development. He subsequently criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for what he called a "red carpet" treatment of China, noting that Chinese forces had killed Indian soldiers at Galwan and were alleged to have encroached on Indian territory in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh.
Mir asserted that China provided logistical and political support to Pakistan during the Operation Sindoor standoff and was welcomed at the BRICS gathering. He argued that the Indian government failed to confront China on these points and should have conveyed a firmer stance. Mir’s remarks reflect ongoing tensions over border disputes and India’s diplomatic balancing act at multilateral forums.
