Speaking at the German Council on Foreign Relations, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said the Pahalgam terror attack was “meant to create a fear psychosis, destroy the tourism economy of Kashmir, and sow religious discord.” He emphasized that the assault was part of a larger pattern targeting not just Jammu and Kashmir, but other regions in India as well. Highlighting India’s strong response under Operation Sindoor, Jaishankar stated, “Our campaign is against terrorism… and in this case, the terrorists happen to be located in the country next door.” Germany condemned the attack and affirmed India’s right to self-defence.
