External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar ripped into Pakistan over its role in sponsoring and spreading terrorism and advised Islamabad to clean up its act and try to be a good neighbour.
In a report by ANI, While answering a question from a Pakistani journalist, who accused India of spreading terrorism, Jaishankar replied, ” You are asking the wrong minister when you say how long will we do this. It is the ministers of Pakistan, who will tell how long Pakistan intends to practice terrorism.”
In a sharp retort, Jaishankar said the world isn’t stupid and it is not forgetful. “…The world increasingly calls out countries, organisations indulging in terrorism…my advice is to clean up your act and try to be good a neighbour.”
During a media stakeout at the UN, Jaishankar said the world today sees Pakistan as the epicenter of terrorism who has its fingerprints over a lot of terrorist activities. “I know we have been through two and half years of COVID and a lot of us have brain fog as a result. I can assure the world has not forgotten …that who has their fingerprints over a lot of activities in the region and beyond the region,” he added.
