Those misusing democratic freedoms must be held accountable: PM

With Starmer by his side, Modi also said that both India and the UK are “united in our view that there can be no place for double standards in the fight against terrorism" as he thanked the British government for its "strong" condemnation of the Pahalgam terror attack.

He made the remarks after Starmer hosted him at Chequers, the countryside residence of the British PM located 50 kms northwest of London.

"We agree that forces with extremist ideologies must not be allowed to misuse democratic freedoms. Those who misuse democratic freedoms to undermine democracy itself must be held to account,” Modi said in his media statement.
