Jaishankar calls Pakistan 'terrorist country' in exchange with reporter
Original: 'A terrorist country is asking me that question, come on': Jaishankar's blunt retort to Pakistani reporter
India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar sharply rebuked a Pakistani journalist, retorting 'A terrorist country is asking me that question, come on' during an interaction. The blunt remark underscores the deep hostility between New Delhi and Islamabad over terrorism allegations, and clips of the moment are circulating widely, drawing both support in India and criticism in Pakistan.
Why now: A senior Indian minister publicly insulted Pakistan as a terrorist state, a provocative statement in an already tense bilateral relationship.
