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 Radoslaw Sikorski on Monday in a blunt message apparently over the mentioning of Kashmir in a Poland-Pakistan joint statement in October.

At a meeting with Sikorski, Jaishankar also expressed his anguish over the unfair and unjustified “selective targeting” of India over the Ukraine conflict, in what is seen as a reference to Western nations’ criticism of New Delhi over its energy ties with Russia. On his part, Sikorski, who is also the Polish deputy minister, said he completely agreed with Jaishankar on the “unfairness” and “selective targeting” in the context of tariffs over India’s relations with Russia.
