Jaishankar Condemns State-Sponsored Terrorism and Reaffirms India's Defense Rights at UNGA
At the 81st United Nations General Assembly, India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar strongly condemned state-sponsored terrorism, implicitly referring to Pakistan without naming it. He rejected attempts to normalize terrorism or claim immunity from its consequences, asserting India's right to defend itself. Jaishankar called for accountability for governments supporting cross-border terrorism and emphasized a zero-tolerance approach, including targeting financial networks. The exchange included a sharp rebuttal to a Pakistani journalist's allegations. Jaishankar also highlighted concerns over maritime security and supported a two-state solution for Palestine amid ongoing global conflicts.
