Take action against "mothership of terror" Modi tells BRICS leaders

This is Dawn headline news again in the name of " unbiased reporting " ..More concern about Modi point of view and Indian reader response. Our national newspaper forget Modi claim of 1971 medal of Indian govt sponsored insurgency. When every Indian media outlet provide unconditional support to its military and leader, eventhough they were aware of truth about surgical strike. Are we trying to show ourselves so truthful on the expense of our forces ? ...when this type of forge truth put the whole nation and its leadership and institution under enemy microscope .

Take action against 'mothership of terrorism', Modi tells BRICS leaders

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a meeting with fellow BRICS leaders on Sunday in Goa urged them to take a strong united stand against the "mothership of terrorism" in the South Asian region, in a thinly veiled reference to Pakistan.

Modi said a country in India's neighbourhood held links to "terror modules" around the world, which BRICS ─ a bloc consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa ─ should strongly condemn.

"In our region, terrorism poses a grave threat to peace, security and development."

"Tragically the mothership of terrorism is a country in India's neighbourhood," Modi said without naming Pakistan.

"Terror modules around the world are linked to this mothership. This country shelters not just terrorists. It nurtures a mindset. A mindset that loudly proclaims that terrorism is justified for political gains."

"It is a mindset we strongly condemn. And against which we as BRICS need to stand and act together. BRICS must speak in one voice against this threat," he said.

Modi has been using the BRICS summit an an attempt to isolate Pakistan following a surge in tensions between the two countries.

Analysts are sceptical of India's chances of securing a joint BRICS condemnation given China's strong diplomatic support for Pakistan and Russia's efforts to forge closer defence ties with Islamabad.

Modi in his closing remarks at the end of the two-day summit told reporters that BRICS leaders had been unanimous in recognising the threat posed by terrorism to economies globally.

The sponsors of terrorism were "as much a threat to us as the terrorists themselves", Modi said.

In their joint statement later Sunday, the BRICS leaders condemned recent attacks against some of its members "including that in India" but made no mention of Pakistan.

"We strongly condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and stressed that there can be no justification whatsoever for any acts of terrorism, whether based upon ideological, religious, political, racial, ethnic or any other reasons," the statement said.

The Indian prime minister stepped up a drive to isolate Pakistan diplomatically after the Uri army base attack.

Hours after the attack occurred, Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh termed Pakistan a 'terrorist state'. India also accused Pakistan of involvement in the attack.

The Uri attack occurred days before Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was set to address the United Nations General Assembly regarding Indian human rights violations in held Kashmir.

Following the attack, India claimed to have conducted a cross-border 'surgical strike' against 'launch pads of terror' in Azad Jammu and Kashmir ─ a claim Pakistan has strongly rejected.

Pakistan maintains India is attempting to divert the world's attention away from 'atrocities' committed by government forces in India-held Kashmir.

Pakistan and India have locked horns over the Kashmir issue since Indian forces stepped up a crackdown against protesters after Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was killed by government forces in July.

Over 80 people have been killed and hundreds of protesters injured in clashes with Indian security forces.

Global economy in precarious state, Xi tells BRICS summit
Chinese President Xi Jinping warned that the global economy remained in precarious condition as leaders of the BRICS group of nations tried to find ways to fire up growth in the troubled bloc.

Speaking at a summit in Goa, Xi told his host Modi and other BRICS leaders that the club of emerging powers had been undermined by both domestic and international woes.

But the leader of the world's second largest economy said the long-term forecast for BRICS members was positive as he called for more confidence-building measures.

"The global economy is still going through a treacherous recovery," Xi said in a statement at the summit.

"Because of the impact of both internal and external factors, BRICS countries have somewhat slowed down in economic growth and have faced a number of new challenges in development."

BRICS was formed in 2011 with the aim of using members'growing economic and political influence to challenge Western hegemony.

The nations, with a joint estimated GDP of $16 trillion, set up their own bank in parallel to the Washington-based International Monetary Fund and World Bank and hold summits rivalling the G7 forum.

But the countries, accounting for 53 per cent of world population, have been hit by falling global demand and lower commodity prices, while several have also been mired in corruption scandals.

Russia and Brazil have fallen into recession recently, South Africa only just managed to avoid the same fate last month and China's economy has slowed sharply.

India by contrast is now the world's fastest-growing major economy in an otherwise gloomy environment.

Modi said it was vital that the BRICS nations found ways of increasing their levels of cooperation. He called for the dismantling of trade barriers, promotion of skills and infrastructure development.

"Promoting economic and commercial engagement has been a foundational impulse in creation of BRICS," he said.

Modi, who came to power two years ago, said his government's policy of opening up the Indian economy had achieved results and offered valuable lessons.

"In India, we have undertaken substantial reforms in the last two years to streamline and simplify governance, especially doing business in India," said the Indian prime minister.

"The results are clearly visible. We have moved up in almost all global indices that measure such performances.

"We have transformed India into one of the most open economies in the world today."

Xi said there was no reason why the bloc's members should not flourish as he called on a group made of business leaders from BRICS nations "to take concrete actions to boost confidence".

"The potential and strength of BRICS countries in terms of resources, market and labour forces have remained unchanged," he said.

"The long term... of BRICS development is still positive."

You can also find Pakistani people filled up in NDTV or Times Now comment section..That doesn't prove anything.
 
. . .
You won't find such "headlines " which enforce Pakistani prespective on Indian newspapers like Times of India. Infact they dedicate their Pakistan section only reserved for negative news and nothing else. DAWN needs to be thoroughly investigated and heads must roll.
 
. . .
you really dont want his support. and he will not become the POTUS.

Indians are just hedging their bets. After all, he has reached the finals and there is every chance that he can come on top - riding on the desperation of working-class Americans.

I'm deeply sceptical of this dawn paper, it seems they are pro India working for their interests, I have posted my comments and it didn't even show up in the comments section
 
. . .
What has DAWN done here other than report the news?
There is time for scepticism and then there is the typical Desi mindset of witch hunting. Fools the lot who are accusing Dawn of being anti-Pakistan on this piece. Clutching at straws on what is a very clear and basic news piece.

The timing was crucial I believe ..

On Topic : No wonder Google has nice things to say about Modi Jee ..

Most of the newspapers pull in news from news aggregators like AFP,ANI,Reuters...etc This is also the same case Dawn has nothing to do here, either print or dont print.

What timing?
It is a piece of news. The object of a journalistic publication is to provide news and current information.
Just because Cyril Almeda decided to write a piece, now a Dawn staffer cutting his egg using his left hand will taken as a sign of them being an Indian agent.
That is how pathetic and petty Desi mentality is.
