• Khan highlighted the Chittisinghpora massacre in Anantnag district, stating it had not been condemned and had only recently been raised in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.
• The New Delhi Declaration, adopted at the 18th BRICS Summit, condemned the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam attack and called for zero tolerance toward terrorism in all forms.
• The declaration urged rejection of double standards, action against cross-border terrorism, terror financing, safe havens, and illicit financial flows used to fund extremist activities.
