Cornering Pakistan over terrorism, External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar said, "If somebody is practicing cross-border terrorism, you need to respond and impose a cost out there. Terrorism started at the moment of our independence when so-called raiders came from across Pakistan. What has changed in this country today, I think the Mumbai 26/11, to me, was the tipping point. A lot of people were very confused till they saw the true graphic impactful phase of terrorism of 26/11. Now, what we need to do first is we need to counter. I know that people who said, "Oh, we had a very smart strategy of turning the other cheek". I don't think that's just the mood of the nation. I don't think it makes sense. I don't think it makes strategic sense."
