India’s Stance on Pakistan’s Terrorism Links: A Firm Warning
In a recent interview in the Netherlands, indian External Affairs Minister S. jaishankar reiterated India’s concerns regarding Pakistan’s involvement in terrorism. He emphasized that notorious terrorists,many of whom are on the UN sanctions list,operate openly in Pakistani cities,raising questions about the government’s awareness and complicity. Jaishankar’s remarks serve as a stark reminder of India’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and its commitment to addressing these issues directly with Pakistan.
Jaishankar pointed out that the addresses of these terrorists are well-known, suggesting that their activities cannot occur without the government’s knowledge. He warned that if Pakistan does not take action to curb these terrorist activities, it will face consequences. Importantly, he clarified that discussions regarding terrorism will not be linked to the Kashmir issue, asserting that india is willing to engage in dialogue with Pakistan but will not accept third-party mediation, a point he reiterated considering previous offers from U.S. President Donald Trump. This firm stance underscores India’s determination to confront terrorism head-on while navigating complex diplomatic waters.
