"Terrorist Country Asking Me?" S Jaishankar Rips Into Pak Journalist's Question

Key Points:

• External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar responded sharply to a journalist's question accusing India of sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan, calling it ironic that a "terrorist country" was posing the question during the UN General Assembly session.
• India has consistently blamed Pakistan and Pakistan-based terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad for multiple terror attacks, including the April 2025 attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 people.
• In retaliation, India conducted missile strikes on nine terrorist-related locations across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, targeting infrastructure linked to terrorist groups.
• At the UN Human Rights Council, Indian diplomat Kshitij Tyagi criticized Pakistan for focusing on territorial claims and terrorism instead of its economic challenges, and condemned Pakistan's handling of civilian protests and shortages in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
