External affairs minister S. Jaishankar raises criticism at the UN General Assembly, saying claims that seek to “normalise tension” are being used in the context of terrorism-related concerns. He rejects attempts to frame the situation in a way that reduces pressure over attacks and security threats.
In remarks described by NDTV, Jaishankar directly references comments he made the previous day, but does not name any country in the quoted passage. Swarajya reports that he targets Pakistan in his UNGA comments, calling it a “serial practitioner of terrorism,” while also affirming India’s right to self-defence. Both accounts emphasize his position that India should not accept arguments aimed at easing tension without addressing the underlying issues.
