SCO Summit: Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar made a pointed but indirect barb at Pakistan when he appealed to the participating nations at the SCO Council of Foreign Ministers meet in Goa to eradicate terrorism in all its forms.
“The menace of terrorism continues unabated. We firmly believe that there can be no justification for terrorism and it must be stopped in all its forms and manifestations including cross-border terrorism. Combating terrorism is one of the original mandates of SCO,” EAM S Jaishankar said in his remarks at the start of the conclave.
