Jaishankar’s Stern Message: We Will Strike Terrorists Wherever They Are in Pakistan- Operation Sindoor Continues

S Jaishankar To Pakistan: External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said that India wants a "definite end" to terrorism and will again attack terrorists in Pakistan in response to any terrorist attack like the terrorist attack in Pahalgam last month. He said that all the "most notorious" terrorists included in the UN sanctions list are in Pakistan, and they are openly active in the country's big cities. He said, "The government is involved in this. The Pakistani army is fully involved in this." Jaishankar said that after direct talks between the two sides, an agreement was reached to end the conflict in India-Pakistan. He said this in the backdrop of US President Donald Trump's claim that Washington played a role in bringing about a "ceasefire."

Operation Sindoor Continues; Terrorists Will Be Targeted Again

Jaishankar made this comment in separate interviews with Netherlands broadcaster NOS and De Volkskrant. He said that if there is another terrorist attack, India will attack the terrorists in Pakistan. This is why Operation Sindoor has not ended. Jaishankar was in the Dutch city of The Hague as part of his visit to the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany. He said, 'This operation continues because it has a clear message - that if actions like April 22 happen again, they will be answered; we will attack the terrorists.'

The government & army is fully involved in this

Giving a strong message, the foreign minister made it clear that, 'If the terrorists are in Pakistan, we will strike them where they are. Therefore, there is a message in continuing the operation, but continuing the operation is not the same as firing at each other.' The Foreign Minister said that no one should believe that Pakistan does not know what is going on in its country. S. Jaishankar told De Volkskrant, "Their addresses are known." He said, "Their activities are known. Their mutual contacts are known. So we should not believe that Pakistan is not involved in this. The government is involved in this. The army is fully involved in this."

India targeted terrorist hideouts in Operation Sindoor

India had launched precision strikes on nine terrorist hideouts on the intervening night of May 6 and 7 under Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. After Indian action, Pakistan tried to attack the Indian military bases on 8, 9 and 10 May, but every time Indian forces gave it a befitting reply. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri had announced on May 10 that India and Pakistan had agreed to cease all firing and military actions on land, air, and sea with immediate effect.

Jaishankar told what was discussed with America

In his address, Jaishankar said that both India and Pakistan approved the arrangement to end the conflict. He said, 'When two countries are involved in a conflict, it is natural that the countries of the world try to express their concern by calling each other.' Jaishankar said, 'But there was a direct conversation between India and Pakistan to stop the firing and military action.' He said, 'We had made one thing very clear to everyone who talked to us, not only America but everyone, that if the Pakistanis want to stop the fighting, they have to tell us. We have to hear this from them. Their general has to call our general and tell him this. And this is what happened'.

Pakistanis should understand this very well

After the conflict between India and Pakistan ended, Trump has taken credit for it several times, saying that he played a role in bringing about a 'ceasefire' between the two sides. He said, 'We want a definite end to terrorism. So our message is: Yes, the ceasefire has stopped military actions against each other for the time being, but if terrorist attacks from Pakistan continue, there will be consequences.' He said, 'Pakistanis should understand this very well.'
