External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar addressed the pressing issue of the conflict in Gaza while emphasising the need for a sustainable solution to the humanitarian crisis.
In a sharp response that stunned Pakistani diplomatic quarters from New York to Islamabad, India's Foreign Minister Dr S. Jaishankar evoked former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton's 'snakes in the backyard' analogy to point out that the world sees Pakistan as "epicentre" of terrorism.
Jaishankar made the remarks while addressing journalists at the UN Security Council's sidelines after presiding over the council's signature event, 'Global Counterterrorism Approach: Challenges and Way Forward'.
