On the issue of militancy there was controversy , particularly in light of the aftermath of the 2016 Uri attack and the 2016 Kashmir unrest . While Modi said that BRICS members " agreed that those who nurture , shelter , support and sponsor such forces of violence and terror are as much a threat to us as the terrorists themselves . " The final communique did not mention such a consensus or the words " nurture , " " shelter " or " sponsor . " China also did not budge on its stance over both rejecting India 's bid for membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group and over the UNSC veto . Amongst the latter tussle , Pakistan reacted to Modi saying , without naming any state : " Tragically , the mother-ship of terrorism is a country in India 's neighborhood . " Pakistan then said that Indian leaders were misleading BRICS members . Likewise , China 's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said : " Everyone knows that India and Pakistan are victims of terrorism . Pakistan has made huge efforts and great sacrifices in fighting terrorism . I think the international community should respect this . We also oppose the linking of terrorism to any specific country , ethnicity or religion . This is China 's consistent position . " She added that China would support its " all-weather ally " amid a campaign by India to isolate Pakistan
