We will retaliate if Pak escalates tensions: India to UNSC nations
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|May 08, 2025
India's leadership on Wednesday reached out to members of the UN Security Council (UNSC) and strategic partners to explain the reasons for the strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and to make it clear that New Delhi will retaliate if Islamabad decides to escalate, people familiar with the matter said.
NEW DELHI:
Soon after the military strikes that targeted bases of terror groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, external affairs minister S Jaishankar dialled his counterparts from France, Germany, Japan and Spain, while National Security Adviser Ajit Doval spoke to his counterparts from the US, China, the UK, Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Doval told his counterparts from several countries that India is prepared to "retaliate resolutely" if Pakistan escalates tensions, the people said on condition of anonymity.
