'india would strike deep into pakistan if provoked by terror attack,' warns jaishankar

Belgium: India would strike deep into Pakistan if provoked by terrorist attacks, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar warned. Notably, India carried out precision strikes at nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) last month in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Jaishankar said that there will be retribution against the terrorist outfits and their leaders in case of barbaric acts like the Pahalgam attack.

Jaishankar, who is meeting the leaders of European Union after India launched Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, said that Pakistan was training "thousands" of terrorists "in the open" and "unleashing" them on India.

"We are not going to live with it. So our message to them is that if you continue to do the kind of barbaric acts which they did in April, then there is going to be retribution, and that retribution will be against the terrorist organisations and the terrorist leadership," Jaishankar told Politico.

"We don't care where they are. If they are deep in Pakistan, we will go deep into Pakistan," he added.

"It (Pakistan) is a country very steeped in its use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy. That is the whole issue," he said. When asked if the conditions that led to the outbreak of war last month were still in place, he said: "If you call the commitment to terrorism a source of tension, absolutely, it is."

He said that the success on Indian strikes can be measured by the damage suffered by Pakistani airbases. "The fighting stopped on the 10th for one reason and one reason only, which was that on the 10th morning, we hit these eight Pakistani, the main eight Pakistani airfields and disabled them," Jaishankar said, adding that images are available in Google showing runways and those hangars which have taken the hit.

"As far I'm concerned, how effective the Rafale was or frankly, how effective other systems were, to me the proof of the pudding are the destroyed and disabled airfields on the Pakistani side," he said.
