In Tokyo, during one of the Indian diplomatic delegation’s visits, Shri Sanjay Kumar Jha of the Janata Dal (United) stood before Japanese leaders with a sharp and urgent message: India will not remain silent in the face of terrorism.
Representing a united group of Members of Parliament — from the ruling party, the opposition, and regional voices — Jha reminded the world of a truth India has lived with for decades.
“Terror and talk can’t go together. Trade and terror can’t go together. And water and blood can’t flow together.”
This message was not just political. It was personal. It followed the brutal Pahalgam terror attack, where 26 people were shot dead — targeted by religion, murdered at close range. Among them were women, children, and a man from Nepal. This was not just terrorism — it was religious segregation followed by execution.
A Wake-Up Call to the World
Jha didn’t mince words. He asked why Osama bin Laden, the world’s most wanted terrorist, was found in Pakistan — right next to a military base. He reminded the Japanese audience that every major terror attack in the world has some links to Pakistan.
“You can’t be neutral on this. If any country trains, funds, or protects terrorists, it is complicit.”
The delegation’s message was clear. Pakistan’s actions are not isolated. They are systemic. They are state-sponsored And they are a threat to everyone.
A New Normal for India
Jha quoted Prime Minister Modi directly:
“This is the new normal, India. Enough is enough. If anything happens to our citizens, we will hit back.”
He added, “We’re not asking for war. We’re asking for justice.”
India is known as a peace-loving country. Jha reminded the audience that Bihar, known for its nonviolent nature, is the land where Buddhism was born. India is also the world’s largest democracy, with regular elections, and home to the second-largest Muslim population globally.
“This is not about religion,” Jha said. “This is about fighting terror. Together.”
Today It’s India. Tomorrow, It Could Be You
Jha showed photos of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, where even two Japanese nationals were killed. He called on Japan to remember that terrorism doesn’t recognize borders.
“Today it’s us. Tomorrow, it could be you.”
That’s why India’s message is not just for itself — it’s for the world.
Representing 1.4 Billion People
Jha closed with a reminder: this delegation speaks for 1.4 billion Indians. And those voices demand action.
“Pakistan is not just turning a blind eye. It is training, financing, and sending terrorists across borders.”
India’s global tour is not for show. It is a mission — to hold the world accountable, to expose Pakistan’s lies, and to end the era of silence and neutrality.
“We didn’t come to provoke. We came to awaken.”
Conclusion
Shri Sanjay Kumar Jha’s words in Japan were more than a speech — they were a warning, a call, and a reminder. A warning that India will no longer remain silent. A call to the world to stop being neutral in the face of state-sponsored terror. And a reminder that terrorism anywhere is a threat to peace everywhere.
India has tried diplomacy. It has shared evidence. It has shown restraint, even when provoked. But now, as Shri Jha declared, “enough is enough.” The world must decide — whether to stand with those who seek peace or with those who protect violence.
This is not just India’s fight. It’s a global responsibility. The cost of silence, as history has shown, is far too high.
