New Delhi: Support from world leaders continues to pour in for India. Russian President Vladimir Putin has called Prime Minister Narendra Modi and strongly condemned the terror attack in Pahalgam, reports Dynamite News correspondent.
He's conveyed his deepest condolences on the loss of innocent lives and expressed full support to India in the fight against terrorism. He emphasized that the perpetrators of the heinous attack and their supporters must be brought to justice.
At this crucial juncture, Russia has also inked a 250 crore defense deal with India. It is also not just this - Russia has also demanded a permanent position for India in the UN Security Council.
If you see, the rattled Pakistan - now since India has deployed S-400 Russian missiles on its border - Pakistan is begging to Russia also for help.
Vladimir Putin has been a long-term friend of India, and his response is as expected - he has condemned the terror attack and stated that India should take all necessary measures to ensure those responsible are brought to justice.
The Prime Minister was invited to Moscow for the Victory Day parade - the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazism by the Soviet Union and its allies America and Britain - but couldn't attend due to current circumstances, nor could Rajnath Singh. However, this conversation was necessary, and the Prime Minister has accepted President Putin's condolences.
Importantly, President Putin emphasized that all those responsible for the attack must be brought to justice. This represents serious support for India and is exactly what we'd expect from Russia.
Meanwhile, we're seeing Pakistan attempting to ensure de-escalation, including through a closed-door UN meeting where they managed to get the reference to TRF removed from a statement.
Against this backdrop, support from countries like Russia becomes extremely significant - not just standing with India but explicitly endorsing India's right to take action against the perpetrators of this heinous attack.
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, Russia's position will naturally influence discussions at the UN. India has many friends among both permanent and non-permanent members of the Security Council, and we can expect significant support.
