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

• External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar labeled India-Pakistan ties an "exception," accusing Islamabad of decades of open state-sponsored terrorism with training camps in major cities.
• Jaishankar asserted that Pakistan's claims of innocence no longer hold credibility, emphasizing that India's foreign policy must be based on realism, dealing with neighbours according to their actions.
• He criticized Western nations for their "selective" and self-interested reactions to India's military action, Operation Sindoor, and their "free advice."
• Jaishankar questioned the credibility of Western concerns, urging them to address violence and instability in their own regions before commenting on others.
• Operation Sindoor (May 6-7, 2025) involved Indian precision strikes on nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, eliminating over 100 terrorists, in retaliation for a terror attack in Pahalgam.

Why It Matters: Jaishankar firmly stated India's stance against Pakistan's terrorism and criticized Western double standards.
