Pakistan must act against cross-border terrorism before world believes it would do what it says: MEA
India, after the Pahalgam attack last year, has maintained that Islamabad should credibly and irrevocably abjure its support for cross-border terrorism
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) emphasizes that Pakistan must take credible action against cross-border terrorism before the world believes Islamabad would follow through on its statements. During a bi-weekly briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal questioned the sincerity of Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir, who recently stated the armed forces were determined to defeat terrorism amid rising militancy.
Pakistan needs to demonstrate action and firm commitment, Jaiswal stated. India has long maintained that Islamabad should credibly and irrevocably abandon its support for cross-border terrorism, following the Pahalgam attack last year. Field Marshal Munir visited the Corps Headquarters in Peshawar, where he discussed the security situation, counter-terrorism operations, and operational preparedness of forces in the province.
He also paid tribute to those who died fighting terrorism. India recently condemned Pakistan's airstrikes in Afghanistan, describing them as aggression that undermines regional peace and security.
