Jaishankar says use of terrorism as statecraft is unacceptable
New Delhi, Oct 25: The use of terrorism as an “instrument of statecraft” is simply unacceptable, and it can never be justified or rationalised, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Sunday and flagged that it continues because “not all states really display zero tolerance” for the menace.
Despite history holding so many lessons on it, “some still allow political calculations to take precedence”, he said in his address at an event here without naming any country.
At an event held here to mark the 75th anniversary of Chinmaya Mission, the minister underlined the importance of peace, especially amid the ongoing conflicts in the world, and cautioned that “war anywhere threatens peace everywhere”.
He cited the two major conflicts going on in the world, in Ukraine and in West Asia, and said societies and economies and people far away who have little say in the matter are actually “paying the cost”.
“We cannot remain helpless spectators.
India expresses global sentiment when we urge that dialogue and diplomacy are the only solution,” the EAM said. (PTI)
