External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar said that incidents of terrorism must be countered. He said that India's erstwhile policy of turning the other cheek did not make any sense. Jaishankar sent a veiled message to Pakistan that it would get a befitting reply for carrying out a terror attack in India. Jaishankar said that terrorism started at the moment of India's independence with Pakistan sending raiders.
"Terrorism started at the moment of our independence when so-called raiders came from across Pakistan...What has changed in this country today, I think the Mumbai 26/11, to me, was the tipping point. A lot of people were very confused till they saw the true graphic impactful phase of terrorism of 26/11. Now, what we need to do first is we need to counter," said Jaishankar.
