00:00Leading a multi-party Indian parliamentary delegation to Indonesia and engaging on this vital discourse on combating terrorism, a challenge that transcends borders and demands a collective, resolute response.
00:14This delegation in front of you today includes parties both from ruling, as well as opposition, parties from across the breadth and span of India, thus representing an unified and bipartisan voice of India, which is determined to defeat terrorism in all its form and manifestation.
00:37At the outset, allow me to place on record our sincere appreciation for the government of Indonesia and particularly President Prabowo for the clear statement condemning the terror attack in Pahalgaon, Jammu and Kashmir and for expressing solidarity with the people of India.
00:58He had stated that such atrocities are unjustifiable regardless of the motive, time, place or perpetrators.
01:07This is a strong source of strength for India.
01:12Yesterday, our delegation had productive official meeting, including with the Vice Chairman of Interparliamentary Corporation, the Chairperson of India-Indonesia Parliamentary Friendship Group, the Secretary General of ASEAN and the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia.
01:32In all our interaction, the message from Indonesia was clear that unequival condemnation for act of terrorism and of a policy of zero tolerance for terrorism in India.
01:48Today, we are meeting with the prominent think tank and members of the members of the academia in Indonesia, which serve as an invaluable catalyst in formulating innovative counter-terrorism policy.
02:07The purpose of this interaction is to brief India's point of view and our strategy to tackle the menace of terrorism, henceforth emanating from Pakistan.
02:20The terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir was carried out with nefarious design to disrupt normalcy and to provoke communal disharmony in India.
02:30Following the terrorist attack on April 22, India waited for two weeks for Pakistan to take action.
02:38When there was no action, on May 7, India decided to target the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
02:48India's response was measured, proportionate, non-skeletary and responsible.
02:53We are very clear on our approach towards terrorism.
02:58India, along with other countries like Indonesia, have a zero tolerance for terrorism.
03:04To implement this, India will not make any distinction hereafter between terrorists and the country that promotes them.
03:13We will not accept any nuclear blackmail.
03:17Those who shelter and promote terrorists cannot hide behind the so-called nuclear umbrella.
03:25Any further terrorist incidents will be met by India with resolute and decisive military action.
03:32Indonesia itself has been a victim of terrorism for many years.
03:37We have in our interaction sought support of Indonesia in defeating terrorism.
03:41It's backers, financers and sponsors at all crucial international forum and intergovernmental organizations.
03:51We are encouraged with the response and the condemnation of such act of terror.
03:59In the fight against terrorism, there is no neutral vice.
04:05Every country needs to be together to fight terrorism.
04:08Every stakeholders, including think tanks and academia has to play its role to counter extremist narrative and to combat terrorism in all its form.
04:20Today, we also seek support of the think tank community and academia in Indonesia to influence and enable policymakers to draft strategies for the future.
