New Delhi, Jul 30: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday made it clear that there was no third party intervention in bringing about a ceasefire with Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, asserting that the halting of the Operation was not linked to trade.
\nIntervening in the special discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Rajya Sabha, Jaishankar said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump did not have any phone calls between April 22 and June 16.
\nThe Opposition has been attacking the government on claims made by Trump on mediation in halting of hostilities between India and Pakistan by using the threat of trade.
\nHe said India will not tolerate any cross-border terrorism and has responded to Pakistan by carrying out Operation Sindoor and will continue to do so whenever the neighbouring country attacked again.
\nNoting that the Pahalgam terror attack was absolutely unacceptable, he said a redline was crossed by Pakistan and there had to be accountability and justice.
\n\u201cBlood and water will not flow together,\u201d he said, justifying India\u2019s suspension of the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan.
\nJaishankar said the Modi government has corrected wrongs of Nehru\u2019s policies by suspending the Treaty. The Treaty signed by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was not to buy peace, but for appeasement.
\nThe External Affairs Minister said terrorism is now on the global agenda only because of the efforts of the Modi government.
\nHe said India exerted huge pressure on Pakistan through the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) process and also despite not being a member of the UN Security Council, India was able to get UN recognition that The Resistance Front (TRF) is proxy of Pakistan-based LeT.
\nThe TRF had claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack. (Agencies)Indian cuisine recipes<\/p>\n
