JAMMU: Senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament Er. Gulam Ali Khatana, speaking before an enthusiastic gathering of the Indian diaspora in Italy, on Thursday denounced the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as the “Mother of Terrorism” and called for coordinated global efforts to isolate the country and dismantle its terror infrastructure.

Khatana underscored that under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has adopted a zero-tolerance approach to terrorism. Citing the recent Operation Sindoor, he said the mission was a direct warning to Pakistan and its sponsored terror outfits that any terrorist attack on Indian soil will be treated as an act of war and responded to accordingly.
“India has never been an aggressor,” Khatana stated. “But we have every right to protect our citizens and defend our territory. The brutal killing of 26 innocent civilians in Pahalgam is a stark reminder of the depths to which Pakistan has stooped, using terrorism as a proxy weapon to wage a war of a thousand cuts.”
He said Operation Sindoor demonstrated India’s precision and restraint, as it targeted terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan without causing civilian casualties-showing both resolve and responsibility.
Khatana urged the international community to stop turning a blind eye to Pakistan’s role in sponsoring cross-border terrorism.
“The time has come for the world to unite against terrorism and its enablers. We must isolate Pakistan diplomatically and economically until it is forced to dismantle the terror camps operating from its soil.”
He called on global leaders to recognize the broader threat posed by terrorism and support India’s efforts to combat this menace at every front.
