India’s Gen Z wants Pakistan to end terror activities: govt
A supporter of terrorism, Pakistan cannot lay any claim to a “pluralistic cultural legacy” like the Indus Valley Civilisation, says MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal
India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) emphasized on Tuesday that Pakistan continues to promote cross-border terrorism as a state policy, specifically targeting the country's "Gen Z" population. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal addressed the issue during a media briefing, urging Pakistani youth to recognize India's awareness of Islamabad's role in terrorism against India.
Jaiswal highlighted that Gen Z in India has been calling for an end to Pakistan's state-sponsored cross-border terrorism, which has been a concern for decades. The spokesman noted the Pakistani social media handlers' online support for the Cockroach Janta Party's recent protest at Jantar Mantar, but stressed that this virtual solidarity is unlikely to influence the ongoing freeze in India-Pakistan relations.
India has effectively put the Indus Waters Treaty on hold following the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, citing Pakistan's persistent support for terrorism in the region, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir. Jaiswal further criticized Pakistan's attempts to claim a "pluralistic cultural legacy" akin to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation, arguing that the Pakistani state's failure to protect minorities and their cultural rights renders such claims insincere and deceptive.
