In a forceful intervention at the G7 outreach session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a consistent, unified global response to terrorism, warning that selective approaches and double standards threaten the credibility of the international fight against violent extremism.

Modi's remarks come against the backdrop of the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 people. Without naming any country, Modi described the attack as a direct assault not just on India, but on shared global values.

"The terrorist attack was not only on Pahalgam, but also on the soul, identity, and dignity of every Indian. It was an attack on the entire humanity," he told world leaders gathered in Kananaskis, Canada.
