- Jaishankar addressed UNGA on global terrorism.
- Stressed zero-tolerance for all terrorist activities.
- Implicitly criticized Pakistan as a terror practitioner.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar addressed the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), on Saturday. There must be no dilution in our zero-tolerance approach towards terrorism, asserted Jaishankar in a veiled attack on Pakistan.
"Yesterday, a serial practitioner of terrorism misrepresented facts before this assembly. Arguments were invoked to normalize terrorism and claim immunity from its consequences. That will not stand. Our right to defend ourselves against terrorism will be exercised. Friendship and goodwill cannot coexist with terrorism, and understandings premised on that will naturally be called into question. It is for the perpetrator of terrorism to mend its ways," he added.
