India's firm stance to curb terrorism; Jaishankar's warning to Pakistan
Chembur, Mumbai | January 2, 2026
India's External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar, has underscored India's unwavering stance on the issue of terrorism. Speaking at an event organized at IIT Madras, he made it clear that India will not remain silent if a neighboring country continues to spread terror. He firmly stated that India will not accept any external pressure or advice regarding how to deal with terrorism.
Terrorism and Neighborly Relations
Jaishankar said, "We have every right to self-defense. We will decide for ourselves how to deal with terrorism." He said that good neighborly relations are impossible due to cross-border terrorism. Without naming Pakistan, he referred to it as a 'bad neighbor' and said that some countries promote terrorism as a state policy. In such a situation, India has the right to protect its citizens and national interests, and it will certainly exercise that right.
Water Sharing Agreements and Terrorism
Referring to water-sharing agreements, Jaishankar said that such agreements are based on good neighborly relations. Such agreements cannot last if terrorism continues for decades. "You want water and you also want to continue terrorism? That's not possible," he clarified. The water-sharing agreements that India entered into many years ago also depend on stable relations.
Speech at the IIT Madras event
At the event, Jaishankar also stated that necessary steps will be taken for India's security. He insisted on a zero-tolerance approach against terrorism globally. This statement is considered to be an indirect attack on Pakistan.
These developments are likely to further strain India-Pakistan relations. Jaishankar's firm stance has been welcomed across the country.
