New Delhi, May 17 (ANI): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on May 17, emphasised that the tolerance for any kind of cross-border terrorism activity in India is very low, reiterating that if something like this happens, there will be consequences. Speaking at the CII Annual Business Summit 2024, Jaishankar stressed that Pakistan has been unrelentingly practicing terrorism. "Where Pakistan is concerned, one, we have struggled continuously with the fact that they have unrelentingly practiced terrorism. This attitude in our country earlier that we put up with terrorism as an eccentricity of our neighbour, that's the way they are, and we have to live with it...," he said. Jaishankar added that in 2014, India made a clear decision that country is not going to tolerate any cross-border terrorism. "I think the people of this nation made a very clear decision in 2014 that they are not going to accept it. In this country, I think the tolerance for any kind of cross-border terrorism activity is very low. There will be consequences, both across the LoC and across the IB, if something like this happens. That is the message of Uri and Balakot," the EAM said.
