India's Diplomatic Triumph: UAE Backs Campaign Against Terrorism

In a strong show of support, E T Mohammed Basheer, a prominent Lok Sabha leader from the Indian Union Muslim League, commended the United Arab Emirates for backing India's campaign against terrorism sponsored by Pakistan. Speaking at a press event in Dubai, Basheer stressed the positive impact of the UAE's cooperation, highlighting India's dedication to peace and global collaboration.

Basheer noted, "The support from the countries we've visited has been incredibly inspiring. We value the UAE's sincere cooperation. India prides itself on peaceful coexistence, and its ties with the UAE remain strong and productive." He further pointed out that following the Pahalgam attack, the UAE was the first to express full solidarity with India.

Emphasizing India's restraint in the face of provocation, Basheer added, "Post-Pahalgam, we signaled our capability for a strong response, yet chose patience. Despite provocations, India maintained decorum and articulated its positions clearly. A worldwide effort is needed to combat terrorism." An all-party delegation also engaged with UAE officials, promoting India's resolute stance against terrorism during the visit, showcasing unity and a firm approach against any form of terror activities.

The delegation pointed to ongoing cross-border terrorism, attributing it to Pakistan's attempts at disrupting India's social harmony. Emphasizing commitment to a zero-tolerance policy on terrorism, India's representatives advocated for a joint international effort. Following attacks in Pahalgam, India retaliated with precision strikes under Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK. Military tensions eased only after high-level dialogues between Indian and Pakistani military leaders.
