Jaishankar Meets Pakistan Speaker Ayaz Sadiq in Dhaka; India Calls it 'Courtesy Call'

• External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met Pakistan National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
• The brief interaction took place on Wednesday ahead of the funeral of former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.
• Indian government sources clarified it was a 'courtesy call' and 'under protocol', not a bilateral discussion or formal talks.
• This was the first high-profile India-Pakistan meeting since 'Operation Sindoor', but India reiterated its stance on cross-border terrorism.
• Jaishankar also handed over PM Modi's condolence letter to Tarique Rahman, Khaleda Zia's son and BNP leader.

Why It Matters: Jaishankar's brief meeting with Pakistan Speaker in Dhaka was a protocol-driven courtesy call, not a policy shift.
