NEW YORK: (Jul 1) The Pahalgam terror attack was an act of economic warfare meant to destroy tourism in Kashmir, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said, asserting that India has made it clear that it will not allow nuclear blackmail to prevent it from responding to terror emanating from Pakistan.
India has had a string of terrorist attacks over the years emanating from Pakistan and in the wake of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, there was a sentiment in the country that “enough is enough,” Jaishankar said on Monday.
His remarks came during a conversation with Newsweek CEO Dev Pragad hosted at the publication’s headquarters at One World Trade Centre near the 9/11 Memorial in Manhattan. PTI
