Presidents of Afghanistan and Sri lanka called up Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday to condole the terror attack in Uri. Both the leaders strongly condemned the cross-border terrorist attack and offered condolences to the families of the victims. Modi and Sirisena spoke on the need for sustained cooperation among countries of the region to end the scourge of terrorism in the region. In fact, other SAARC nations too have called for uniting against terrorism.
There is a growing mood among SAARC countries to boycott the upcoming Summit in Islamabad in November. Already Afghanistan and Bangladesh have indicated on this and it is highly unlikely PM Modi will attend the meeting.
The entire international community has stood by India’s side as it mourns its martyred soldiers following the terror attack. While Japan said that no act of terrorism can be justified in any way regardless of its form and purpose, Germany said every country has the responsibility to take decisive action against terrorism which emanates from its own territory. France has called for decisive action to be taken as per international law against terror groups targeting India, particularly lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, and Hizb-ul-Mujaheedin.
Russia in its message said in that it is alarming that, according to New Delhi, the attack on military base was committed from the territory of Pakistan. Russia has also called off a military exercise with Pakistani Army in the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Bhutan also called for international co-operation to tackle terrorism and Canada affirmed its support in India’s fight against terrorism.
