Does Pakistan not have anti-India ideological indoctrination?” Jairam Ramesh asked.“Weren’t the Mumbai and Pahalgam terror attacks planned and carried out by Pakistani terrorists? Apparently, this new stance towards Pakistan is part of the Prime Minister’s policy of appeasing the US and surrendering to China.
