External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar responds sharply to a Pakistani journalist’s question, saying, “A terrorist country is asking me that.” The remark is reported by multiple Indian outlets covering the exchange.
The incident is presented as a brief but pointed back-and-forth in which Jaishankar challenges the premise or tone of the question. While the exact wording and context of the journalist’s follow-up or the surrounding discussion are not detailed in the provided excerpts, both reports characterize the minister’s response as a direct “hit back.”
Across the sources, the focus is on the same core moment: Jaishankar’s use of a strong statement directed at the Pakistani media questioner. The outlets do not indicate agreement on additional specifics such as the topic of the question, the setting where it occurred, or any subsequent official responses, but they consistently describe the exchange as tense and confrontational.
