Pakistan-backed terrorism isn't just India’s concern — it’s a global threat that demands unified international action.

External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar has once again raised a red flag before the global community, stating in no uncertain terms that terrorism sponsored by Pakistan is not an isolated issue limited to India's borders, but a serious threat to global peace and security.

In a world already reeling from geopolitical tensions, cyber warfare, and radicalization, Jaishankar’s statement serves as a wake-up call. He emphasized that while India has borne the brunt of cross-border terrorism for decades, the ideology, networks, and financing of such operations are part of a broader ecosystem that endangers the entire world.

Speaking at a high-level diplomatic event, he urged nations to stop viewing terrorism through a “political lens” and instead adopt a consistent, uncompromising stance against state-sponsored extremism. Jaishankar pointed out that tolerance for terrorist safe havens in neighboring countries not only destabilizes South Asia but also creates ripple effects far beyond the region — from Europe to the Americas.

By framing terrorism as a shared global challenge rather than a regional dispute, Jaishankar called for international cooperation, real-time intelligence sharing, and sanctions on countries that continue to shelter terrorists under the guise of political support or strategic depth.

His warning echoes India’s long-standing position that unless the world unites against all forms of terrorism — regardless of the perpetrator or the target — no nation can claim to be safe.
