‘Free Trade Agreement Vs Free Terrorism Arrangement’: Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi Slams Pakistan On Global Stage

In a stinging rebuke aimed at Pakistan, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on Sunday (1 June) said that while India presides over global economic leadership as the G20 host, Pakistan continues to shelter some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists.

“While we hosted the G20, they hosted the T20 — the top 20 terrorists of the world,” she remarked while addressing the Indian diaspora in London, as reported by NDTV.
“They shake hands with you, and then bite you on your back,” she added.

Chaturvedi referred to Osama bin Laden as a prime example, stating that the Al Qaeda chief was not only found hiding in Pakistan but was also “actively financed, aided, trained, supported, and hidden” from their so-called ally, the United States.

She contrasted India’s global engagement with Pakistan’s terror links by saying:

“India is signing Free Trade Agreements. Pakistan is pursuing its own FTA — Free Terrorism Arrangement.”

Chaturvedi is part of a seven-member multi-party delegation dispatched by India to 33 global capitals in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack on 22 April, which killed 26 civilians. The delegation is led by BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad and includes senior parliamentarians such as Ghulam Ali Khatana, Amar Singh, Samik Bhattacharya, former minister M J Akbar, and Ambassador Pankaj Saran.

This international campaign follows the launch of Operation Sindoor on 7 May, where India conducted precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
