Jaishankar Responds to Pakistani Journalist's Terrorism Question at UNGA Briefing
At the 81st United Nations General Assembly, India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar sharply rebuffed a Pakistani journalist who accused India of sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan, responding, "A terrorist country is asking me that question." The exchange occurred during a remarks-only briefing on maritime security alongside Liberia's Foreign Minister. India reiterated calls for Pakistan to take credible action against cross-border terrorism, referencing the 2025 Pahalgam attack and subsequent military responses. Pakistan has denied these allegations. The incident highlights ongoing India-Pakistan tensions over terrorism at international forums.
