He is a public leader who not only listens but also participates on the ground. Be it a tractor ride or a public dialogue on the Uniform Civil Code, every aspect shows that Uttarakhand is moving towards a new era, where development and sensitivity go hand in hand.

Jaishankar Says Conflict Not Between India And Pakistan: ‘It Is India Vs Terror-istan'
Last Updated: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar made the statement during a joint press conference with Kaja Kallas, the Vice-President of the European Commission. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told foreign journalists in Brussels to not consider the longstanding conflict between India and Pakistan as two states embroiled in a conflict but as a conflict between a democracy and a nation that harbours terrorists. 'This is not a conflict between the two states. This is actually a response to the threat and practice of terrorism. I would urge you not to think of it as India-Pakistan, but think of it as India-Terroristan," Jaishankar told foreign reporters while addressing a joint press conference with Kaja Kallas, the Vice-President of the European Commission. The video of the clip is now going viral on X. #WATCH | 'This is not a conflict between two states. This is actually a response to the threat and practice of terrorism.

The April 22 Pahalgam terror attack claimed 26 lives, following which tensions between India and Pakistan escalated. India carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7. He was asserting that there will be retribution against the terrorist outfits and their leaders in case of barbaric acts like the Pahalgam attack. The External Affairs Minister, who is travelling to Europe a month after India launched Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, also said that Pakistan was training 'thousands" of terrorists 'in the open" and 'unleashing" them on India. 'We 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," he told Politico on Monday.
