The minister also highlighted India바카라s long-standing concerns about The Resistance Front, noting that New Delhi had alerted the United Nations and the international community about the group바카라s activities.
Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has attributed last month바카라s deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, to what he described as the "extreme religious outlook" of Pakistan Army chief General Asim Munir. The attack, which left 25 Hindu tourists dead, was carried out by militants from The Resistance Front (TRF), a known offshoot of the Lashkar-e-Taiba group.
In an interview with Dutch broadcaster NOS, Jaishankar condemned the attack as a 바카라barbaric바카라 act intended to destabilize Kashmir바카라s vital tourism sector and inflame communal tensions. "Twenty-six people were murdered in front of their families after ascertaining their faith," he said. 바카라It was done in a way intended to harm tourism, which is the mainstay of the Kashmir economy.바카라
Jaishankar pointed to recent provocative statements by Gen. Munir as a possible trigger. Days before the Pahalgam attack, Munir, now promoted to Field Marshal, had invoked the two-nation theory and called on Pakistanis to raise their children with the belief that they are "different from Hindus." He also reiterated that Kashmir is Pakistan바카라s 바카라jugular vein.바카라
바카라To understand that [the attack], you have to see that on the Pakistani side, especially their Army chief, who is driven by an extreme religious outlook,바카라 Jaishankar said. 바카라There is clearly some connection between the views that were expressed and the manner the attack was carried out.바카라
The minister also highlighted India바카라s long-standing concerns about The Resistance Front, noting that New Delhi had alerted the United Nations and the international community about the group바카라s activities well before the April 22 incident. "We know the command centres and those areas we targeted," he added.
In response to the Pahalgam massacre, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting and destroying nine terror camps operated by Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. Approximately 100 militants were killed in the operation.
Addressing US President Donald Trump바카라s claim that Washington helped broker a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Jaishankar clarified that the truce was a direct negotiation between the two South Asian nations.
"The ceasefire was negotiated directly between India and Pakistan," he said. "We told everyone, including the US, that if they want an understanding, they have to talk to us directly. And that's why it happened."
The remarks come amid heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, following a spate of cross-border incidents and rising concerns over state-sponsored terrorism.
