BJP MP Tejasvi Surya Slams Pakinstan's Acts of Terror in Address to Guyana's National Assembly
In a scathing attack on Pakistan's record on terrorism, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya presented facts and statistics about the country's alleged support for terror groups before the Speaker of the National Assembly of Guyana on Monday. The Indian politician stated that Pakistan has been engaged in a "proxy war" against India for over seven decades, using various terrorist outfits to target his country.
Surya highlighted the devastating impact of terrorism on India, citing an estimated 1000 injuries inflicted by Pakistani-sponsored terrorists over the past 70 years. He also noted that while India prioritizes improving the quality of life for its citizens and contributing to global welfare, Pakistan seeks to claim itself as a victim of terror in order to evade international condemnation.
The BJP MP emphasized that Pakistan has effectively weaponized terrorism as statecraft, with an estimated 52 UN-designated terrorist organizations operating under the country's auspices. He pointed out that several high-profile attacks globally, including the 9/11 attacks and Paris assaults, have been linked to Pakistani-based terrorist groups.
In contrast, Surya highlighted India's military successes against terror outfits in Pakistan, particularly following Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror infrastructure and eliminated over 100 terrorists affiliated with groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. The operation was launched as a response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 individuals.
Surya's address urged the Speaker of the National Assembly and the parliament of Guyana to acknowledge Pakistan's role in fostering terrorism, which poses a global threat to peace and stability. He emphasized India's commitment to non-violence and growth, urging international cooperation to tackle the menace of terror.
The diplomatic outreach comes amid growing tensions between India and Pakistan over terrorism-related issues, with both countries vying for support from nations like Guyana and other members of the UN Security Council.
