India reiterates support for two-state solution to Palestine issue at NAM meet

India Thursday (October 16, 2025) called on Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) member states to display zero tolerance for terrorism, saying any sponsorship, support, justification or cover-up of terrorism will “come back to bite those who do so”.

Delivering India’s statement at the 19th NAM Mid-Term Ministerial Meeting in Uganda, Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh said terrorism is a “shared threat” that can be addressed only through deeper international cooperation.

“For decades, India has been a victim of barbaric cross-border terrorist attacks, most recently on 22 April 2025, when innocent tourists were slaughtered in Pahalgam in Jammu & Kashmir,” he said.

He said that virtually every member of this movement is cognizant of the challenge posed by terrorism and is committed to combating it. “However, it is a matter of deep regret that when the UN Security Council deliberated on the Pahalgam terrorist attack, a member state chose to defend the perpetrator - The Resistance Front - to the extent of seeking a deletion of any public reference to them,” Singh said, in a veiled reference to Pakistan.
