India is firmly committed to a “zero tolerance” policy against terrorism and will not accept any equivalence between terrorists and their victims<\/a>, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday during discussions with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy in New Delhi.<\/p>\n

The comments come amid the nation’s concern over some countries drawing parallels between India and Pakistan following the recent military standoff. Lammy arrived in New Delhi for a two-day visit to review and strengthen the India-UK strategic partnership.<\/p>\n

In his opening remarks, Jaishankar expressed appreciation for the UK\u2019s condemnation of the recent “barbaric” terror attack in Pahalgam<\/a> and its continued support for India\u2019s counter-terrorism efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me thank the Government of the United Kingdom for the strong condemnation of the barbaric terrorist attack in Pahalgam in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir and for your solidarity and support to India in the fight against terrorism,\u201d Jaishankar said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe practice a policy of zero tolerance against terrorism and expect our partners to understand it, and we will never countenance perpetrators of evil being put at par with its victims,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

During the talks, India reportedly raised concerns about cross-border terrorism originating from Pakistan. The UK had previously engaged with both India and Pakistan last month, encouraging de-escalation during their military tensions.<\/p>\n

It may be noted that before visiting India, Lammy had travelled to Islamabad on May 16, where he welcomed the May 10 agreement between the two neighbours to cease hostilities.<\/p>\n

In other developments, Jaishankar described the recently concluded India-UK Free Trade Agreement and the Double Taxation Avoidance Convention as major milestones in bilateral ties during the talks.<\/p>\n
