‘Slap in the Face for Pakistan’: Former J&K DGP Hails China’s Backing of BRICS Declaration Against Terrorism

September 13, 2026

New Delhi: Former Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) has welcomed China’s backing of the BRICS declaration against terrorism, describing the development as a “slap in the face for Pakistan.”

The remarks came after BRICS countries adopted the New Delhi Declaration, which strongly condemned terrorism in all its forms and reaffirmed the grouping’s commitment to combating terrorism.

The former J&K DGP said China’s support for the declaration was significant, particularly in the context of India’s longstanding concerns over cross-border terrorism.

BRICS Declaration Takes Strong Stand Against Terrorism

The BRICS declaration adopted during the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi reaffirmed the member countries’ commitment to preventing and combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

The declaration also stressed that terrorism should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilisation or ethnic group.

India has consistently raised the issue of terrorism at international forums and pushed for stronger global action against terrorist networks and their supporters.

China’s Backing Highlighted

The former J&K DGP welcomed China’s support for the BRICS position, viewing it as an important diplomatic development for India.

His comments came amid India’s efforts to build greater international consensus against terrorism, particularly following the Pahalgam terror attack and concerns over cross-border terror networks.

The BRICS declaration’s condemnation of terrorism has been seen as an important outcome of the summit, where India sought stronger cooperation among member countries on security and other global challenges.

The former police chief’s remarks were particularly focused on the significance of China’s position and its implications for Pakistan.
