Jaishankar Sends Clear Message: “India Will Strike Terrorists, Even Across Borders”
New Delhi, June 3, 2025 — In a bold and uncompromising statement, India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar declared that India reserves the right to strike terrorists wherever they may be — including across the border in Pakistan.
“If terrorists are in Pakistan, we will strike them there,” Jaishankar stated during a high-level national security event, sparking strong reactions both domestically and internationally.
This message comes amid rising global concerns over safe havens for terror groups and increasing cross-border threats. India’s position is now clearer than ever: zero tolerance, no waiting, no warning.
India’s Firm Anti-Terror Stand
- India will act proactively if intelligence confirms threats, even outside its territory.
- The government emphasizes its right to defend citizens beyond borders.
- International cooperation is being strengthened to isolate and eliminate terror safe zones.
Security analysts believe this signals a new phase in India’s counterterrorism policy — where action will speak louder than diplomacy.
Real Impact
This shift could:
- Influence India-Pakistan relations
- Reshape global narratives on sovereign defense rights
- Pressure nations harboring non-state actors to act
Dr. Jaishankar’s remarks echo India’s post-Uri and Balakot doctrine: when pushed, India will respond — swiftly and decisively.
