India strongly rejected Pakistan’s criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks on Jammu and Kashmir in his podcast with Lex Fridman. The Ministry of External Affairs called Pakistan the “biggest roadblock” to regional peace, accusing it of cross-border terrorism. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal demanded Pakistan vacate Indian territory under its “illegal and forcible occupation.” Pakistan’s Foreign Office had termed PM Modi’s comments “misleading.” The diplomatic row intensified as US official Tulsi Gabbard highlighted “Islamist terrorism” as a common threat. PM Modi reiterated India’s commitment to peace but blamed Pakistan for rejecting peace overtures.
