During one of the seven Indian parliamentary delegation’s visits to Moscow, Smt. Kanimozhi Karunanidhi delivered a powerful speech that called out Pakistan’s role in supporting terrorism. Speaking on behalf of India’s multi-party delegation, she brought to light the country’s rising frustration and firm stand on national security.
Her tone was clear — India wants peace, but not at the cost of silence.
Kashmir Terror Attack: 26 Killed in Cold Blood
Kanimozhi opened her speech by recalling the April 22nd terror attack in Kashmir, where 26 innocent tourists, including women and children, were shot dead in front of their families. She called it not just an attack on India but a brutal reminder of how terrorists target civilians to provoke fear and division.
“The world’s conscience was shaken,” she said.
“What kind of humanity allows this?”
Pakistan Shielding Terror: Denial at the United Nations
She reminded the audience that a terror group based in Pakistan claimed responsibility — twice. Yet, Pakistan not only denied involvement but also shielded these groups at the United Nations, using false propaganda to confuse the international community.
“Peace is not possible,” she declared.
“if one side supports, funds, and shelters those who spread terror.”
India’s Response: Targeted, Measured, Responsible
India’s military response was restrained but strategic.
Kanimozhi stressed that Indian forces targeted only confirmed terror camps and training centers — no civilian areas, no military bases, and no public infrastructure.
But Pakistan’s retaliation? It was indiscriminate — targeting civilians, places of worship, and peaceful communities. Despite this, India continued to act responsibly, keeping the door open for real peace — not peace under blackmail.
India’s Global Outreach: Not for Conflict, But for Truth
Kanimozhi highlighted India’s global diplomatic campaign — including this visit to Russia — to expose Pakistan’s actions and counter their false narrative.
“We are not here to provoke,” she said.
“We are here to protect innocent lives and speak the truth.”
She emphasized that India refuses to be intimidated and will not engage in talks until terrorism is abandoned — not just in words, but in action.
Terrorism Is Not Just India’s Problem — It’s Global
Kanimozhi made a crucial point: Pakistan’s terror networks don’t only target India. Many global terror incidents, she noted, have been traced back to Pakistan or its nationals. This, she said, is no longer a regional issue — it is a global threat.
“No country is safe,” she warned.
“when terror is allowed to thrive anywhere.”
An Appeal to Russia: Support Your Old Friend
In her closing remarks, Kanimozhi reached out directly to Russia — India’s long-time ally.
“You have stood with us in war, in crisis, and in development,” she said.
“Now, we ask you to stand with us in this fight against cross-border terrorism.”
She urged Russian leaders to understand the reality on the ground in Kashmir and across India’s borders. The time for silence, she said, has passed. The world must act — before terror knocks at everyone’s door.
Conclusion
Smt. Kanimozhi Karunanidhi’s address in Moscow was more than a political statement — it was a plea, a warning, and a stand. She reminded the world that peace without justice is an illusion, and silence in the face of terrorism is not neutrality — it is complicity.
India’s outreach, through its multi-party delegation, shows that the fight against terrorism is not a party issue; it’s a national duty. And in that spirit, India asks its allies and the global community to stand with it — not just in sympathy, but in action.
