S. Jaishankar calls out Pakistan for funding Terrorism, Says Could Have Use Much Harsher Words

In an interview in Austria, India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar slammed Pakistan's terror funding and recruitment. Jaishaknar was being questioned whether calling Pakistan an epicenter of terrorism was a diplomatic thing to do to which he said, "I could’ve used much harsher words than epicenter” to describe Islamabad’s role in promoting cross-border terrorism. Believe me, it’s a very diplomatic term”.

He further said, “This is a country which attacked the Parliament of India some years ago, which attacked the city of Mumbai, which went after hotels and foreign tourists, which sends terrorists across the border every day”.

“If terrorist camps operate in broad daylight in cities, with recruitment and financing, can you really tell me that the Pakistani state doesn't know what's going on? Especially if they're being trained in military-level combat tactics?"

During the ZIB2 podcast when the anchor said that Pakistan does not spread terrorism as a country, Mr Jaishankar responded, "If you control your sovereign space, which I believe they do. If terrorist camps operate in broad daylight in cities with recruitment and financing, can you really tell me that the Pakistani state doesn't know what's going on? Especially, they are being trained in military-level, combat tactics."
