Will strike deep into Pak if provoked by terror attacks: Jaishankar's big warning
Minister of External Affairs, S Jaishankar, on Tuesday warned that India would strike deep into Pakistan if provoked by terrorist who is currently in Belgium, asserted that there will be retribution against the terrorist outfits and their leaders in case of barbaric acts like the Pahalgam attack. He also said that Pakistan was training "thousands" of terrorists "in the open" and "unleashing" them on are not going to live with it. So our message to them is that if you continue to do the kind of barbaric acts which they did in April, then there is going to be retribution, and that retribution will be against the terrorist organisations and the terrorist leadership," Jaishankar told Politico on Monday. "We don't care where they are. If they are deep in Pakistan, we will go deep into Pakistan," he between India and Pakistan, the two nuclear-armed neighbours, escalated following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed 26 lives. India responded by carrying out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May hostilities, which lasted four days, concluded on May 10 after talks between the directors general of military operations from both sides led to an understanding to cease military the cessation of recent hostilities, Jaishankar warned that the underlying issues remain unaddressed. He characterised Pakistan as "a country very steeped in its use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy. That is the whole issue." When questioned if the conditions that led to last month's outbreak of conflict were still present, he responded, "If you call the commitment to terrorism a source of tension, absolutely, it is."Regarding military losses, Jaishankar indicated that the relevant authorities would address the matter at an appropriate time. He emphasised that India's fighter aircraft and missiles inflicted "far more extensive damage" on the Pakistani Air Force than vice versa, ultimately compelling Pakistan to seek peace."As far I'm concerned, how effective the Rafale was or frankly, how effective other systems were — to me the proof of the pudding are the destroyed and disabled airfields on the Pakistani side," Jaishankar further asserted, "The fighting stopped on the 10th for one reason and one reason only, which was that on the 10th morning, we hit these eight Pakistani, the main eight Pakistani airfields and disabled them." He pointed to publicly available images on Google showing damaged runways and hangars as his week-long tour of Europe, Jaishankar is scheduled to hold discussions with leaders from the European Union, Belgium, and France. These talks aim to bolster bilateral ties and reaffirm India's steadfast policy of zero-tolerance against the wake of the Pahalgam attack, India dispatched seven multi-party delegations to 33 global capitals to engage with the international community regarding Pakistan's hostile intentions and India's resolute response to terrorism. India has consistently reiterated its commitment to precise and decisive strikes against terrorist hideouts.
