Poland should display "zero-tolerance" for terrorism and not help "fuel" the terrorist infrastructure in India's neighbourhood, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told his Polish counterpart Radosław Sikorski on Monday in a blunt message apparently over the mentioning of Kashmir in a Poland-Pakistan joint statement in October. ADVERTISEMENTThe external affairs minister made the comments in his televised opening remarks at the meeting in New Delhi. "You are no stranger to our region and are certainly familiar with the longstanding challenge of cross-border terrorism," Jaishankar said. Poland should display zero-tolerance for terrorism and not help fuel the terrorist infrastructure in our neighbourhood," he said. The external affairs minister also mentioned India's consistent position on the Ukraine conflict.
