Terrorists Attacking India Won’t Be Safe Even In Pakistan, Warns Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said that India will strike deep inside Pakistan if terrorists provoke the Indian government with terror attacks.

In an interview in Brussels, he emphasised that India will no longer tolerate terrorism.

Jaishankar highlighted that Pakistan has trained thousands of terrorists and is ready to unleash them on India, reported The Times Of India.

"We don't care where they are. If they are deep in Pakistan, we will go deep into Pakistan," he said.

The minister added that India's fighter aircraft and missiles had inflicted far more damage on the Pakistani Air Force than vice versa, forcing Pakistan to call for peace in the conflict that followed India's Operation Sindoor against the terrorists.

Addressing China's support for Pakistan, the minister cautioned against double standards regarding terrorism.

"They have had close ties for decades. But on an issue like terrorism, you cannot afford ambiguity or double standards. In the end, it's a problem that concerns all of us," Jaishankar said.

The minister also clarified that the Kashmir issue revolves around terrorism.

"It has become an India-Pakistan issue because Pakistan harbours and supports terrorists. The conflict is between India and terrorism, not with a specific country...if terrorists attack India, we will hunt them down wherever they are, including in Pakistan," he said.
