Jaishankar gives EXPLOSIVE remarks about UN, says ‘Member of Security Council is sympathiser of…’

External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar on Friday fired a fresh salvo at the United Nations and questioned its response to terrorism. He said that when a member of the Security Council openly defends an organization that claims responsibility for horrific terrorist attacks like the one in Pahalgam, it severely undermines the credibility of multilateralism.

He also said that equating victims and perpetrators of terrorism with the same category makes the world even more reprehensible. When those who call themselves terrorists are shielded from sanctions, the integrity of those involved is questioned.

Jaishankar said that the UN’s response to terrorism is a prime example of the challenges it faces. He expressed concern that a permanent member of the Security Council openly defends organizations that claim responsibility for horrific terrorist attacks like the one in Pahalgam. This seriously damages the credibility of multilateralism.

“Few examples are more telling about the challenges facing the UN than its response to terrorism. When a sitting Security Council member openly protects the very organisation that claims responsibility for the barbaric terror attack, such as at Pahalgam, what does it do to the credibility of multilateralism? Similarly, if victims and perpetrators of terrorism are equated in the name of global strategy, how much more cynical can the world get. When self-proclaimed terrorists are shielded from the sanctioning process, what does it say for the sincerity of those involved?..,” Jaishankar said.
