Same terrorism will come to haunt you, India warns West

The world needs to understand that the tensions between India and Pakistan are not merely a bilateral issue but a global concern about terrorism, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar has highlighted during his ongoing trip to Europe.

"Let me remind you of something — there was a man named Osama Bin Laden. Why did he, of all people, feel safe living for years in a Pakistani military town, right next to their equivalent of West Point (Pakistan military institution)? I want the world to understand that this isn't merely an India-Pakistan issue. It's about terrorism. And that very same terrorism will eventually come back to haunt you," EAM Jaishankar said during an interview with European media outlet Euractiv in Brussels.

He warned that the terrorism targeting India right now will eventually haunt the rest of the world.

Responding to another question on India not joining sanctions against Russia and having not done enough to support Ukraine, Jaishankar said that India does not believe that differences can be resolved through war.

"We don't believe that differences can be resolved through war -- we don't believe a solution will come from the battlefield. It's not for us to prescribe what that solution should be. My point is, we're not being prescriptive or judgemental--but we are also not uninvolved," he said.
