Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism - Minister Jaishankar teaches lesson Pak with evidence

External Affairs Minister S.Jaishankar on Thursday told the Pakistani reporter, “You are asking the wrong minister and said It is the minister of Pakistan who can tell how long it's intends to practice terrorism".

External Affairs Minister S.Jaishankar also reminded Pakistan about former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s “snakes in your backyard will bite you” advice and said, "Pakistan is not good at taking good advice" and the world sees Islamabad as the “epicenter of terrorism”.

Giving another piece of advice to the neighboring country, Jaishankar asked Pakistan to be a “good neighbor” and contribute to economic growth and progress development the way other countries do.

At UN Headquarters, answering the question of a Pakistani reporter, who asked how long South Asia will see terrorism from New Delhi, Kabul, Pakistan and how long they will be at war, Jaishankar said, “You are asking the wrong minister when you say how long will we do this. It is the minister of Pakistan who can tell how long Pakistan intends to practice terrorism. World is not stupid. The world is not forgetful and the world does increasingly call out countries and organisations and people who indulge in terrorism. You are not going to confuse anybody anymore. People have figured it out. My advice is to clean up your act and try to be good neighbour. Please try and contribute to what the rest of the world is trying to do today which is economic growth and progress development.”

Jaishankar said, “A decade ago, Hillary Clinton during her visit to Pakistan said that if you keep snakes in your backyard you can’t expect them to bite only your neighbors, eventually they will bite the people who keep them in the backyard. Pakistan is not good at taking good advice. The world today sees them as the epicenter of terrorism.”
