India and Pakistan became full members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation or SCO in 2017.
In a veiled reference to Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today told leaders of the SCO nations that "there must not be any double standards in combating terrorist activities" and the "bloc must not hesitate to criticise countries that support cross-border terrorism as part of state policy".
With Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin listening, PM Modi said at a virtual summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) that there is a need for decisive action to deal with terrorism and terror financing.
"Terrorism has become a threat to regional and global peace," PM Modi said calling for expanding mutual cooperation to deal with the menace by the grouping.
"We have to fight together against terrorism that may be in any form and any manifestation," PM Modi said, asserting that there must not be any double standards in fighting terrorism.
