India's Firm Stance Against Nuclear Blackmail: Jaishankar's Bold Declaration

In a decisive statement, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar declared that India will not fall prey to nuclear blackmail. Addressing foreign students at Parul University, Jaishankar emphasized the need for severe repercussions for those who support, foster, and exploit terrorism.

His assertion followed Operation Sindoor, a military initiative against terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. Jaishankar noted that India is a unique civilizational state, increasingly asserting its rightful place on the world stage.

Contrasting India's diplomatic approach with others, Jaishankar criticized the trend of transactional international relationships, affirming India's commitment to forging partnerships grounded in trust and mutual respect.
