Digital Desk
Speaking at the UN headquarters, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar urged the global community not to be intimidated by nuclear threats. Instead, he emphasized the urgent need to unite and raise a strong voice against terrorism, calling it the real danger to global peace and stability.
India's Foreign Minister S Jaishankar took a tough stand against terrorism in the United Nations and appealed to the world to unite. He said that terrorists should not be spared under any circumstances.
Jaishankar said that terrorist organizations work as proxies of some countries. Therefore, this should not be allowed to happen. Apart from this, he has appealed to the global community that one should not succumb to the nuclear blackmail of any country. Referring to the Pahalgam attack, he said that India's retaliation gives a clear message of zero tolerance towards terrorism.
S Jaishankar is on a three-day visit to America. There he inaugurated an exhibition titled 'Human Loss of Terrorism' at the United Nations Headquarters.
This exhibition will be displayed at two places from June 30 to July 3 and July 7 to 11. This inauguration took place at a time when Pakistan is going to start the presidency of the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday.
'Terrorism is a threat to peace wherever it is'
Jaishankar referred to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. He said that the United Nations Security Council had strongly condemned this attack and demanded punishment for the terrorists responsible for it.
India launched 'Operation Sindoor' two weeks after this attack, in which terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was targeted. He stressed, "Support to terrorism by any country must be exposed and countered."
Jaishankar said that terrorism is a threat to peace wherever it is. The world has to respond unitedly with this understanding.
Terrorism is the biggest enemy of humanity: Foreign Minister Jaishankar
The Foreign Minister said that terrorism is the biggest threat to humanity. It is completely against the values of the United Nations such as human rights, rule of law and mutual relations between countries. He said, "When a country promotes terrorism against its neighbour, when fanaticism fuels it, when it gives rise to many illegal activities, then it is necessary to expose it before the world." The exhibition depicts terrorist acts like the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts, the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the Pahalgam attack. It also includes the names of many Pakistan-based terrorist organisations and individuals. Jaishankar said that this exhibition is a small but firm effort to raise the voice of the victims of terrorism.
