india-will-never-give-in-to-nuclear-blackmail-says-jaishankar

External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar reaffirmed that India will never give in to "nuclear blackmail." 

 

Speaking at a convocation ceremony of foreign students of Parul University on Friday, Jaishankar also said it was imperative that those who sponsor, nurture, and use the "service of terrorism" pay a high cost.  

 

"India will never give in to any kind of nuclear blackmail," the minister cited. His comments came in the wake of Operation Sindoor conducted by the Indian Armed Forces on nine terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). Operation Sindoor was a retaliatory attack for the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack, in which 15 Indians and one Nepali national were killed.

EAM further stated that India is a rare civilisational state which is today reclaiming its rightful place in the comity of nations. 

 

It has become a fashion in some quarters to "openly become transactional" in dealing with other nations, the External Affairs Minister said, adding that India, however, believes in building partnerships on the basis of trust.
