During the media briefing, while responding to a question on Pakistan’s attempts to invoke the shared legacy of the Indus Valley Civilisation, Jaiswal said Islamabad’s record on terrorism and minority rights undermines such claims.
Responding to reports claiming that Pakistan’s Gen Z groups showed their support for last week’s student protests at Jantar Mantar, India on Tuesday said the focus should instead be on Pakistan ending state-sponsored cross-border terrorism.
“We are all aware that Pakistan has been sponsoring cross-border terrorism against India for several decades,” said Randhir Jaiswal, Official Spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), at a media briefing. “The people of India, including Gen Z, have been demanding that Pakistan end its state-sponsored cross-border terrorism. We hope their counterparts are taking due note,” he said.
