Echoing India’s dual legacy of peace and courage, he said, “We come from the land of Mahatma Gandhi, who taught us non-violence and peace. But we also come from the land of Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and Subhash Chandra Bose, who shook the very foundations of the British Empire during colonial rule.” He continued, “Therefore, I believe this is the right forum to call for the organisation of a global alliance to ensure that the world becomes free from terror and that no safe havens exist for terrorist infrastructure. That, I believe, is the message that has gone out loud and clear from Operation Sindoor and other military operations.”Sharing a video from his address at the ALC on ‘X’, Chadha stated, “At the global stage, I called upon the world to join hands and build a united global front against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Today, at the prestigious Asian Leadership Conference in South Korea, where leaders from more than 47 nations come together, I put forth India’s message loud and clear: We are not the nation that absorbs attacks—we respond with cross border strikes and precision. Operation Sindoor proved that India will strike deep, destroy terror, and dismantle terror safe havens.””There’s been a paradigm shift. India has adopted a proactive and preemptive counter-terrorism doctrine, demonstrating a clear willingness to conduct cross-border strikes against terrorist infrastructure. Operation Sindoor wasn’t just a military operation. It was a message: India will not tolerate terror. We do not seek conflict. But we will never shy away from defending our people. Time now for all of us to form a Global Alliance Against Terror: India believes terrorism anywhere, is a threat to peace everywhere,” he added.Chadha was invited to deliver the address at Asia’s premier leadership forum alongside 320 global leaders and 2,500 delegates in Seoul.
