EAM S Jaishankar says India is expert in Information Technology, while Pakistan in International Terrorism

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said that India is considered an expert in Information Technology, while Pakistan is in international terrorism. He said, no other country practiced terrorism, the way Pakistan has done. Dr. Jaishankar was speaking on the topic of 'Rising India and the world: Foreign policy in Modi era' in Vadodara yesterday.<br />''<br />''Dr Jaishankar said, the Narendra Modi-led government's diplomacy made other countries take the issue of terrorism seriously. He said, India is fairly successful in taking along the world in this fight against terrorism. Earlier, other countries used to ignore this issue thinking it would not affect them because it was happening somewhere else. Today, there is pressure on those who support terrorism. This is an example of our diplomacy, he said.<br />''<br />''Dr Jaishankar said, at the UNGA too, India was firm on a "zero tolerance approach" to cross-border terrorism. At the UN, New Delhi also issued a stern reaction to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's views on the Kashmir issue, he said.  <br />''<br />''Speaking on terrorist incidents in northeast India, Dr Jaishankar said that in recent years these activities have reduced because India could achieve a land boundary agreement with Bangladesh in 2015. That agreement stopped extremists from getting shelter in Bangladesh which stopped their operation in northeast India, he said. <br />
