Chadha speaks at prestigious Asian Leadership Conference

Raghav, who joined the prestigious Asian Leadership Conference in South Korea as a keynote speaker, made a strong case for punitive action against Pakistan for protecting and shielding terrorists, stating, "Terrorism anywhere is a threat to peace everywhere."

Presenting India's firm stand against terrorism, he said that the government has demonstrated a paradigm shift in the way we deal with terrorists, terror infrastructure and rogue nations.

"India's Operation Sindoor has shown that we are all for peace, but if anyone tries to tinker with our peace and cause injury and death to our people, we will not spare terror and its infrastructure, wherever it may be," he said, addressing a gathering of an eclectic audience.

The Parliamentarian also took to X to share a video of his clip from the 'Davos of the East' Summit, attended by more than 47 nations, and said: "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 pre-emptive 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," he said while adding that it was time to form a Global Alliance against terror.

The prestigious conference, ALC 2025, is being held in South Korea's capital from May 21-22 and is widely recognised as Asia's premier platform for global dialogue.

The conference will see many noted speakers, including Rishi Sunak, Mike Pompeo, Tony Abbott,and Laurel Miller, sharing their views on the theme - "The Rise of Nations: Pathways to Great Prosperity."

The conference brings together more than 320 global leaders and over 2,500 delegates from politics, business, academia, and civil society to engage in conversations around the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the Asian continent.

Finally someone speaking the truth on global platforms! Pakistan has been exporting terror for decades while playing victim. Operation Sindoor was a masterstroke - sometimes you need to speak the language terrorists understand. 👏 #ZeroTolerance

While I support strong action against terrorism, I wonder if forming more global alliances will help when existing ones like FATF haven't been fully effective. Maybe we need stronger economic measures against nations harboring terrorists?

Proud to see Indian leaders taking our concerns to global stage! But we must also focus on strengthening our borders with Nepal and Bangladesh where terror infiltration happens. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Terrorism is indeed a global problem, but I wish our leaders would also talk about China's role in shielding Pakistan at UN. That's the elephant in the room no one wants to address!

Good speech but actions speak louder than words. We've seen many such statements before. What we need is sustained international pressure and concrete steps to cut off terror funding completely.

As someone from Kashmir, I appreciate this strong stance. But along with global alliances, we need better rehabilitation for victims of terrorism and stronger intelligence at grassroots level. The human cost is often forgotten in these discussions.
