IndiaTimes Tuesday, 23 April 2024
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar criticized the previous Congress-led UPA government for choosing not to retaliate after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, citing the reasoning that attacking Pakistan would be costlier than not doing so. Speaking at a talk on 'Foreign Policy the India Way: From Diffidence to Confidence', Jaishankar emphasized India's moral duty towards nations that struggled to recover from colonial rule.
