Freetown (Sierra Leone), May 31, 2025 (ANI): While interacting with the members of media in Sierra Leone, BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj asserted that Pakistan needs to be isolated diplomatically. He said, “...As far as nations like Pakistan are concerned, who are terrorist sponsoring nations, who use terrorism to wage a proxy war and who think that terrorism is the way forward for them, well, this is the time to isolate them diplomatically, call them out morally, and India will continue to respond to them strategically”
00:00I think the kind of overwhelming response that we have had on our mission, whether it was in UAE or whether it was in the Democratic Republic of Congo and as well as in Sierra Leone, this support, the unequal support that we have received has been overwhelming.
00:22And speaking of your own countries, Sierra Leone, where your government has condemned the attack, your parliament stood in solidarity, in memorial, standing for one full minute, holding a minute of silence in remembrance of those innocent lives that were lost.
00:43I think we are very optimistic that this diplomatic mission will definitely bear fruit. This is not a tour. This is a declaration.
00:54The seven all-party delegations that left India on this mission, they are here to declare India's stance. In the face of terrorism, India is unflinching, unwavering and unafraid.
01:13Also, we believe in the philosophy of Vasudeva Kutumbukam. The entire world is a family. And that is why we do not see terrorism as a regional problem.
01:26The time for selective response to terrorism is over. It is now time for all of us to stand united. Only then will we be able to slay the monster of terrorism.
01:42As far as nations like Pakistan are concerned, who are terrorist sponsoring nations, who actually use terrorism to wage a proxy war, and who actually think that terrorism is the way forward for them, well, this is the time to isolate them diplomatically, call them out morally, and definitely India will continue to respond to them strategically.
