Advocating the necessity to counter cross-border terrorism, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasised that India has grappled with this issue since its independence. He was taking a jab at Pakistan.
Addressing the media he said, "...Terrorism started at the moment of our independence when so-called raiders came from across Pakistan...What has changed in this country today, I think the Mumbai 26/11, to me, was the tipping point."
He said that if somebody is practising cross-border terrorism, response becomes the most important factor in countering that.
"A lot of people were very confused till they saw the true graphic impactful phase of terrorism of 26/11. Now, what we need to do first is we need to counter. I know that people who said, oh, we had a very smart strategy of turning the other cheek. I don't think that's just the mood of the nation. I don't think it makes sense. I don't think it makes strategic sense. If somebody is practising cross-border terrorism, you must respond, you must extract and impose a cost out there...," the EAM went on to say.
While speaking at the 3rd convocation of Rashtriya Raksha University in Lavad, Gandhinagar, the EAM had said that terrorism has long been a particular challenge for India.
