India’s External Affairs Ministry spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, emphasized global awareness of the connection between the Pakistani state and terrorist groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), following the circulation of videos that incite jihad against India. He condemned these messages as further evidence of Islamabad’s ties to terrorism, particularly in light of India’s Operation Sindoor, which targeted JeM infrastructure after a Pahalgam terror attack. Jaiswal reiterated India’s firm stance against third-party mediation in bilateral matters with Pakistan, countering claims made by Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar regarding potential dialogue facilitated by the U.S. This situation underscores the persistent challenges in Indo-Pak relations, revealing the complexities of regional security and the need for India to maintain a robust defense posture.
