Taking a dig at Pakistan, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday said no other country "practices terrorism" the way India's western neighbour does.
Speaking on "Rising India and the World: Foreign Policy in Modi Era" in Vadodara, Jaishankar said the world isn't tolerating terrorism anymore.
"We have a neighbour. Like we are expert in IT (information technology), they are expert in 'international terrorists'. It is going on for years...but we could explain to world that terrorism is terrorism, today it is being done against us, tomorrow it will be against you," Jaishankar said.

"No other country practices terrorism in the manner in which Pakistan has done. You show me anywhere in the world what Pakistan has done for so many years against India. After the 26/11 Mumbai attack, it is important for us to be clear to ourselves that this kind of behaviour and action is unacceptable and there will be consequences," the minister added.
Jaishankar credit the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government of making other countries realise that terrorism can harm them too in the future if not contained now.
"We are fairly successful in taking along the world in this fight against terrorism. Earlier, other countries used to ignore this issue thinking it would not affect them because it was happening somewhere else. Today, there is a pressure on those who support terrorism. This is an example of our diplomacy," Jaishankar said.
