Jaishankar calls Pakistan 'a terrorist country' in blunt exchange
Original: 'A terrorist country is asking me that question, come on': Jaishankar's blunt retort to Pakistani reporter
India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar sharply rebuked a Pakistani reporter who questioned him, replying, 'A terrorist country is asking me that question, come on.' The retort underscores New Delhi's long-standing accusation that Pakistan sponsors cross-border terrorism, a charge Islamabad denies. The remark circulated widely and drew strong reactions from both Indian supporters and Pakistani critics.
Why now: A senior Indian minister publicly and harshly calling Pakistan a terrorist state is inflammatory and newsworthy amid ongoing India-Pakistan tensions.
