<p>External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday said no other country "practices terrorism" the way Pakistan does.</p>.<p>Speaking on "Rising India and the World: Foreign Policy in Modi Era" here, he said the Narendra Modi government's diplomacy made other countries take the issue of terrorism seriously.</p>.<p>"No other country practices terrorism in the manner in which Pakistan has done. You show me anywhere in the world what Pakistan has done for so many years against India. After the 26/11 Mumbai attack, it is important for us to be clear to ourselves that this kind of behaviour and action is unacceptable and there will be consequences," said Jaishankar during interaction with the audience after the talk.</p>.<p>While India is considered "expert in IT" (Information Technology), the neighbouring country is known as an "expert in International Terrorism", the minister quipped. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, India successfully made other countries realise that terrorism can harm them too in the future if not contained now, Jaishankar said.</p>.<p><strong>Also Read | <a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/national/india-strives-for-relationship-with-china-that-is-built-on-mutual-sensitivity-respect-and-interest-jaishankar-1149221.html" target="_blank">India strives for relationship with China that is built on mutual sensitivity, respect and interest: Jaishankar</a></strong></p>.<p>"We are fairly successful in taking along the world in this fight against terrorism. Earlier, other countries used to ignore this issue thinking it would not affect them because it was happening somewhere else. Today, there is a pressure on those who support terrorism. This is an example of our diplomacy," the external affairs minister said. Terrorist activities in the North East have declined because of India's strategic pact with Bangladesh, he said.

"...and I think if there is one leader who is realising the dreams, who has the thought process of Sardar Patel, who is realising the vision of Sardar Patel, who has that boldness, commitment and habits, you know who that is," the minister said, apparently referring to Modi. </p>
