Jaishankar Slams Pakistan's Open State-Backed Terror, Blasts Western Hypocrisy

• EAM S Jaishankar accused Pakistan of openly supporting state-backed terrorism for decades, calling it an "exception" among neighbours.
• Jaishankar stated that Pakistan's claims of not supporting terror lack credibility, as "everybody knows" the state backs these groups.
• He emphasized that India's foreign policy must deal with Pakistan's "unpalatable reality" with realism, not rhetoric.
• Jaishankar criticized Western hypocrisy regarding India's Operation Sindoor, urging them to reflect on violence in their own regions.
• Operation Sindoor, launched after the Pahalgam attack, involved precision strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan and PoK, eliminating over 100 terrorists.

Why It Matters: Jaishankar asserts Pakistan's open state-backed terror and criticizes Western double standards on India's actions.
