Jaishankar in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, adding that blood and water cannot flow togetherIndia has faced cross-border terrorism since 1947, he said."The then PM is saying that let us do this treaty (The Indus Water treaty) because the Indian government should put the interest of the Pakistani Punjab. Not a word about the interest of the farmers of Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Himachal... He now says that because people are saying, we felt that in the circumstances, this is the right settlement. We purchased peace and it is good for both countries... 1960, he said that we purchased peace. We didn't purchase peace, we purchased appeasement because within one year, the same PM accepted that with Pakistan, there is no peace."Earlier, Jaishankar and Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed the Lok Sabha during a discussion on Operation Sindoor , outlining India's diplomatic efforts and taking sharp aim at the on India's approach in the aftermath of the attack, Jaishankar said the focus of Indian diplomacy was the United Nations Security Council."The focus for our diplomacy was the UN Security Council .
