PM Modi emphasized that the April 22nd attack in Pahalgam as an assault on all humanity.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said there should be no place for double standards on terrorism, and that countries which openly support terrorism are often rewarded, apparently referring to Pakistan, which receives billions of dollars in aid and misuses it to finance cross-border terror.
Speaking at the G7 Outreach Session in Kananaskis, PM Modi said the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in April this year was an assault on humanity.
Calling terrorism an 'enemy of humanity", the Prime Minister said it is against all countries that uphold democratic values.
'There should be no place for double standards on terrorism… Terrorism is an enemy of humanity. It is against all countries that uphold democratic values. For global peace and prosperity, our thoughts and policies must be clear – if any country supports terrorism, it will have to pay the price for it…," he said.
Adding further, PM Modi said, 'On one hand, we are quick to impose all kinds of sanctions based on our own preferences. On the other hand, countries that openly support terrorism are rewarded."

The Prime Minister reiterated India's experience in democratising the use of technology and its human-centric approach to its deployment.
