United Nations: On Saturday, India issued two warnings to Pakistan in a single day. First, it was PM Modi at a rally in Jammu, followed later by External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar when he sternly cautioned Pakistan that cross-border terrorism would face retaliation. He added that Islamabad was facing “karma” for the terrorist attacks it launched on others.
“Let me make India’s position perfectly clear: Pakistan’s cross-border terrorism policy will never succeed, and it can have no expectation of impunity”, he said.
“On the contrary, actions will certainly have consequences”, he declared from the podium at the 79th UN General Assembly’s high-level session in New York.
This was one of India’s strongest, unabashed warnings to Islamabad from an international forum.
He dismissed Pakistan Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif’s attacks on India in his speech on Friday as “bizarre.”
Of Islamabad’s ideological commitment to terrorism, he said, “When this polity instils such fanaticism among its people, its GDP can only be measured in terms of radicalisation and its exports in the form of terrorism.”
Excoriating Pakistan for the terrorist attacks launched against other countries and its export of terrorism. EAM Jaishankar said, “Today, we see the ills it sought to visit on others consume its own society. It can’t blame the world; this is only ‘karma’.”
He was alluding to a Pakistan consumed by internal disorder as its fractious politics and religious divisions are roiled by violence and its economy in shambles begs for bailouts.

“Many countries get left behind due to circumstances beyond their control. But some make conscious choices with disastrous consequences. A premier example is our neighbour, Pakistan,” he said of the consequences it faces internally as a result of promoting terrorism.
He added that, unfortunately, their misdeeds affect others as well, especially the neighbourhood.
EAM Jaishankar referred to China’s role in protecting Pakistan-based terrorists from UN sanctions.
Without naming China, he said, “The sanctioning of global terrorists by the United Nations should also not be impeded for political reasons.”
He added that terrorism is antithetical to everything that the world stands for.
“All its forms and manifestations must be resolutely opposed,” he added.
