00:00First and foremost, India's actions on the intervening night of the 6th and 7th May 2025
00:08were absolutely consistent with public international law.
00:14Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations gives every nation the right to take action,
00:24pre-emptive or post-emptive, in its self-defense.
00:28What India carried out were actions against terrorist organizations and terror camps,
00:38which have been consistently and systematically targeting India over quite a period of time.
00:46So therefore, whatever India did in the exercise of its rise to national defense
00:54was absolutely consistent with public international law.
01:02Pakistan's response, on the other hand, is clearly escalatory.
01:07Attempts to try and target a spectrum of military establishments across the north and west of India
01:17is absolutely unacceptable.
01:21Pakistan has to understand that it is a state which is regarded as a sponsor of terror,
01:30not now, but going back many decades.
01:33It is the country which harbored Osama bin Laden while sucking in aid from the United States of America
01:43in the name of the war on terror.
01:46And therefore, under those circumstances, any escalatory steps by Pakistan
01:52would definitely be met by an equal and proportionate response by the government of India.
01:59And so therefore, it is in Pakistan's interest to hand over all those terrorists
02:06who have been targeting India over a period of time,
02:11whose lists have been supplied to Pakistan, so that they can be brought to justice.
