Islamabad needs to get used to the new normal: India hits back at Pakistan

India today trashed the Pakistan Foreign Office's reaction to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the nation yesterday, and said that Islamabad needs to get used to "the new normal" of New Delhi's fierce retribution for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attacks.

Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, briefing the media days after the ceasefire with Pakistan, said:

"We have seen the statement made by the Pakistani side. That a nation which has nurtured terrorism on an industrial scale should think that it can escape the consequences is fooling itself.

"The terrorist infrastructure sites that India destroyed were responsible not only for the deaths of Indians but of many other innocents around the world.

"There is now a new normal. The sooner Pakistan gets used to it, the better."
