New Delhi [India], September 1 (ANI): BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal on Monday expressed confidence that there would be "positive outcomes" from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to China.
He further expressed confidence that India will emerge as a "major economic superpower in the entire world."
The BJP MP also hailed Prime Minister Modi's remarks at the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO in the Chinese port city of Tianjin, condemning terrorism and presenting India's strong stance against terrorism, calling out the "some countries" for their open support of terrorism.
Speaking to ANI, Khandelwal said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi had clearly stated that there would be no compromise of any kind with India's interests, and in accordance with that, at the SCO Summit, the Prime Minister put forward all of India's concerns, whether it is terrorism or Pahalgam terrorism attack... I am fully confident that after the Prime Minister's China visit, India will emerge as a major economic superpower in the entire world, and there would be very positive outcomes from the Prime Minister's visit to China."
On Monday, Prime Minister Modi presented India's strong stance against terrorism, calling out the "some countries" for their open support of terrorism and reaffirming that such "double standards" are not acceptable.
In his remarks at the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO in the Chinese port city of Tianjin, PM Modi said that the Pahalgam terror attack was an open challenge to every country that believes in humanity, and urged SCO members to stand united in their fight against terror.
"India has been bearing the brunt of the terrorism for the last four decades. Recently, we saw the worst side of terrorism in Pahalgam. I express my gratitude to the friendly country that stood with us in this hour of grief," PM Modi said.
"This attack was an open challenge for every person, every county who believes in humanity. At this time, it is natural to question that whether open support of terrorism by some countries is acceptable to us. We have to speak in a united voice that no double standards on terrorism will be acceptable. We have to unanimously oppose terrorism in every form and colour. This is our duty towards humanity," he added.
PM Modi urged for zero tolerance for cross-border terrorism and further redefined the grouping's focus, noting that its foundation rests on three key pillars -- security, connectivity, and opportunity.
Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif was also present at the occasion as PM Modi delivered his remarks at the plenary session. (ANI)
