What S Jaishankar said in Parliament

He said that the Quad had given a statement saying it “unequivocally condemns all acts of terrorism or violent extremism in all its forms and manifestations, including cross-border terrorism.”
He added that BRICS, which includes countries such as China, Russia, Brazil, South Africa, Iran and Egypt, “also condemned the attack, reaffirmed its commitment to combating terrorism.”
Jaishankar also said that India’s military response to the Pahalgam attack has created a “new normal” for fighting cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan. This, he said, includes confining bilateral talks to terrorism and not giving in to nuclear blackmail.
He added that India has a new five-point approach, which makes it clear that “terror and good neighbourliness cannot co-exist [and] blood and water cannot flow together”.
