External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on March 24 that “a terrorist is a terrorist” in any language and one should not allow terrorism to be excused or defended because of a different explanation of it.
Mr. Jaishankar's remarks came during his interaction with the Indian community members in Singapore.
Responding to a question on how Indian officials approach sensitive and linguistically different topics with their global counterparts, the minister said that in diplomacy, different countries bring their own cultures, traditions and sometimes their language or concepts to debate.
