“Terrorists should not feel since they are across the border, no one can touch them. Terrorists do not play by any rules so the answer to the terrorists cannot have any rules,” said the Minister for External Affairs professor Jayashankar.
The Minister was interacting with the Youth.
After the Mumbai attack, there was not a single person who felt we should not have responded. But it was thought at the time that the cost of attacking Pakistan is more than not attacking Pakistan,” he added.
“If something like Mumbai (26/11) happens now and if one does not react then how does one prevent the next attack,” Jaishankar asked.
As the Terrorists don’t follow any rules and regulations, we also don’t bother to act against the terrorists without following any rules and regulations he explained.
One may recall that surgical strikes were carried out on the terrorist’s hideouts in Pakistan. It was like a lightning operation with all the precision at our disposal.
