What happened
The External Affairs Ministry spokesperson reiterated India’s claim that Pakistan continues to promote cross-border terrorism as a state policy. The spokesperson told Pakistan’s “Gen Z” to take note that people in India, including Indian “Gen Z”, are aware of Islamabad’s alleged support for terrorism against India.
The spokesperson linked the remarks to allegations and complaints about online support by Pakistani social media handlers aimed at student protesters at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
Background and earlier position
India and Pakistan have a long-running bilateral dispute in which both countries repeatedly accuse each other of terrorism-related wrongdoing. Indian public messaging on terrorism often includes claims about state-level responsibility and external enablers that may influence events inside India, including information flows in online spaces.
