External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that India has made Pakistan's policy of using cross-border terrorism to bring India to the negotiating table "irrelevant." In an interview with ANI, Jaishankar stated that the Modi government's approach has ensured that Pakistan can no longer use terrorism as "legitimate" leverage. He emphasized that India is willing to engage with Pakistan if it creates a "conducive environment free of terror and hostility." However, Jaishankar asserted that India will not "play that game now" of tolerating cross-border attacks. He remarked that while Pakistan is a neighbor, India will only deal with it on terms where terrorism is not considered a valid tactic.
