India on Tuesday (November 18, 2026) said that the world must display "zero tolerance" towards terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, asserting that there can be no justification, no looking away and "no whitewashing".
"As India has demonstrated, we have the right to defend our people against terrorism, and will exercise it," External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said in his address at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Heads of Government meeting in Moscow.
