EAM Jaishankar exposes Pak army chief’s hand in Pahalgam attack

External affairs minister S Jaishankar highlighted the Pakistan army chief’s religious views as a factor in the Pahalgam attack, where terrorists killed 26 civilians after identifying their religion. He asserted India’s claim over Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, demanding its return. While Jaishankar acknowledged that several countries, including the United States, reached out during the crisis, he also made it clear that the ceasefire resolution was entirely bilateral, not mediated by any third party.
