New Delhi:
Pakistan has to understand that terrorism is unacceptable and no dialogue will reach the desired conclusion, Salman Khurshid said today in former foreign affairs. Meanwhile, India cannot be very optimistic and may leave its guard, he said. He also said, “Spender Sindoor” said, “Salute our officers, be proud of them … notable decisions by armed forces”.
In a special interview with NDTV, Mr. Khurshid said, “No matter what we do and no matter what we try to do, eventually, is, finally, a lower line and the line below is terrorism”.
India has said that any more terrorist attacks will be considered as the task of war and will be dealt with accordingly. But the former minister said that an act of war has its own obstacles to respond.
He said, “Finally, Pakistan will have to come up with a clear articulation that terrorism is unacceptable to appear in any form. And until this is done, I don’t think there is a chance to achieve or complete a great deal,” he said.
Asked if India has communicated its ability to destroy the Pakistan-based terrorist network, Mr. Khurshid said that it is a very “sensitive subject” and questioned whether India can sit back and wonder whether the terrorist network has been demolished and will not be seen at any time soon. “I think it would be very optimistic and it will leave our guard,” he said.
Two of the nine places targeted during the attacks against terrorist bases during Operation Sindoor were the mainstays of Jai-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Tabiba and Murida, the headquarters of Bhavalpur.
After four days of aggression, Pakistan, after the vengeance of India after Operation Sindoor, called for a ceasefire yesterday. But violated it within hours.
In a press briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri insisted that India “takes very serious information of these violations.”
Since Friday, Pakistan created drone and missile attacks in the pockets of Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, Punjab and Gujarat.
Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presided over a high-level meeting with the top defense establishment, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, Defense Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan and heads of Tri-Seva Heads.
