Jaishankar's stern message on terrorism: ‘Ludicrous that you are only helpless…’

Hindustan Times  

The threat of terrorism has become more serious as lone-wolf radicalisation has been now added to the spectrum while al-Qaida, Daesh and Boko Haram have expanded, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday chairing the UNSC briefing on Global Approach to Counter Terrorism. In a sharp swipe at Pakistan, Jaishankar said the established networks of terror are still alive in South Asia and the contemporary epicentre of terrorism remains very much alive and active, whatever gloss may be applied to minimise unpleasant realities. Uniform criteria are not applied to sanction terrorists, Jaishankar said enumerating the challenges and added that sometimes it would seem that the ownership of terrorism is more important that its actual perpetration and consequences. "The suggestion that the state was apparently capable of everything else but is only helpless when it comes to terrorism is ludicrous," Jaishankar said.
