NEW DELHI: Foreign Minister S Jaishankar criticized Pakistan as an “egregious example of state-sponsored cross-border terrorism”, even as the government aims to vigorously counter the latest tactic in Pakistan’s “terrorist dossier”.
Indian missions, particularly in the immediate neighboring countries, P5 and OIC countries, have made diplomatic moves to counter Pakistan’s latest effort to paint the label of terror in India.
On Sunday, the MEA issued a strong statement against a press conference by Pakistan’s foreign minister. Shah Mehmood Qureshi. On Monday, Jaishankar, addressing the Deccan Dialogue at the Indian Business School in Hyderabad, said: “We have, in our immediate neighborhood, a particularly egregious example of state-sponsored cross-border terrorism. The world is gradually realizing the global nature of international terrorism. Our tireless efforts have kept him in the spotlight, highlighting related issues such as terrorist financing, radicalization and cyber recruitment. ”
According to Indian diplomatic sources, the Pakistani government has been trying to get the “dossier” out to audiences in Bangladesh. Similar activities have been reported by Indian missions in other neighboring countries.
Spokesperson for the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs Great Hewad it refuted Pakistan’s accusations that India used Afghan soil to launch terrorist attacks inside Pakistan. “The accusation is unfounded.

Just as Pakistan’s Foreign Minister revealed a dossier containing ‘irrefutable evidence’ of India’s role in terrorism on 14 November, Pakistan had handed over three similar dossiers with ‘evidence’ to the UN Secretary General in October 2015 What happened to them?
Officials said Pakistan was trying to push the narrative of “Islamophobia” at the UN, which they said was a thinly veiled attack on India, to claim that India’s diplomatic campaign against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism was little more than a anti-Islamic position.
