Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar sharply rebuked a Pakistani journalist at the UN on Friday, dismissing a terrorism-related question during a briefing in New York. The exchange occurred at a media session announcing a new "Group of Friends on Safety and Security of Shipping and Seafarers," where Jaishankar responded, "A terrorist country is asking me that question?" before ending his remarks. The incident underscores ongoing India-Pakistan tensions at the 81st UN General Assembly, diverting attention from the maritime security initiative co-announced with Liberia's foreign minister.
