He reminded that it was the same Pakistani army that gave shelter to the 9/11 attacker.“They have a history with each other, and they have a history of ignoring their history. This is the same army that went to Abbottabad (in Pakistan) and found who is there?” Dr. Jaishankar asked.The EAM also reiterated that there was no arbitration between the US and Pakistan between the US and Pakistan after the struggle after India’s operation vermilion.“From the 1970s, now for more than 50 years, this country has a national consensus that we do not accept arbitration in our relations with Pakistan,” he said.He further stated that calls were made from the US and other countries during Operation Sindoor, but clarified that these were regular diplomatic exchange, not negotiations. “Every American phone call I have on my ‘X’ account,” he said, emphasizing that the agreement was the result of direct negotiations between India and Pakistan, and pushed behind the story by the opposition and US President Donald Trump that the US gave a ceasefire.The Minister of External Affairs also used the opportunity to attack the opposition, saying that India was also opposing external pressures to protect its national economic interests.“When it comes to business and interests of farmers, when it comes to our strategic autonomy, when it comes to opposing mediation, this government is very clear. Our situation is firm,” he said, “he said,” If anyone disagrees with us, we are not ready to protect the interests of farmers. “,
