On Monday, he emphasizes that India is a “mature nation” aiming for equitable collaborations.

Europe

, preferring not to be lectured. He emphasizes that if

Europe

If it anticipates receiving India’s backing during its issues, it should likewise stand with India in its battle against terrorism.

In discussions with ANI, Sachdev highlighted the importance of addressing

Europe

to firmly oppose Pakistan, especially following the recent terrorist incident in Pahalgam.

If you seek India’s backing with your issues, then we must receive support from you when facing ours as well. To put it plainly, an eye for an eye…

Europe

definitely requires partnerships, and we require partners as well, but

Europe

Should move beyond this colonial attitude of lecturing and focusing solely on their own interests without regard for India’s self-interests and suffering.”

Sachdev proposed that nations should impose a boycott on Pakistan until it implements decisive measures against terrorism. Referring to the recent incident in Pahalgam, Sachdev emphasized the need for a firm position against Pakistan, stating, “everyone should simply ostracize Pakistan.”

“Igniting the agony caused by terrorism, one must question: To what extent and intensity do others stand beside us? Is an outright boycott of Pakistan being embraced universally? Given this scenario, we believe those who support us ought to impose a boycott on Pakistan as well,” he further stated.

Sachdev promotes a relationship of mutual respect between India and

Europe

, where all parties mutually advocate for one another’s interests.” Sachdev stated that

Europe

It needs to progress past its colonial attitude of “lecturing” and focusing solely on “its own interests.” He emphasized that India is a “mature nation” today, noting that those times have passed when the Western world could dictate to us.

Sachdev stated, “What we require are partners, not sermonizers, and we additionally need

Europe

to grasp that it can’t be true that the issues of

Europe

are the problems of the whole world,” he said.

“As we observe the global landscape, our focus should be on finding allies rather than lecturers—especially those who do not follow through domestically yet lecture internationally… We must assess whether collaboration is necessary; this would require mutual comprehension, empathy, shared interests, and an insight into the functioning of the international arena,” he stated.

Sachdev pointed out that India is no longer a country that can simply be advised by Western nations. Rather, India looks for allies who grasp its objectives and worries, especially concerning matters such as terrorism. He referenced External Affairs Minister Sصند

His assertion that the issues of

Europe

It cannot be the responsibility for all the world’s problems.

India has matured into a robust nation. Those times have passed when the West, particularly, could instruct us and dictate the paths we should follow, exerting pressure on us. Today’s India requires allies rather than lecturers, and equally important, we needpartners.

Europe

To comprehend, like External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj did

Jaishankar

mentioned that it can’t be true that the issues

Europe

“Are the issues of the entire world. However, our problems are merely our own, correct?” he remarked.

External Affairs Minister S

Jaishankar

On Sunday, they stated that although the United States has grown more independent,

Europe

Is under pressure to adjust to a shifting, multi-pole global landscape. The Union Minister also stated that India seeks alliances rather than lecturers, particularly those who do not practice what they preach.

He highlighted that certain portions of

Europe

are still finding it difficult to adapt to the current global changes and must deeply consider whether they desire substantial collaboration with India.

Addressing the Arctic Circle India Forum 2025,

Jaishankar

He stated, “Now we’ve grown to a scale and maturity where nearly every significant event occurring anywhere globally impacts us. Today, the United States enjoys a high degree of self-reliance compared to recent history.”

Europe

Today finds itself under pressure to evolve. The implications of a multi-polar world are becoming clear. However, I believe it hasn’t yet completely adapted and understood these changes. There’s been a significant shift in America’s stance. Meanwhile, China continues with its previous approach. In this scenario, we will witness increased rivalry, making it challenging to revert back. Essentially, we’re heading towards a far more competitive global landscape.”

The External Affairs Minister stated, “As we observe the global landscape, our focus is on finding partners rather than sermonizers. Especially those who do not apply at home the principles they advocate overseas.”

Europe

is still having difficulty with that issue.

Europe

has crossed into a specific area where things need to be put to the test. We’ll have to wait and see if they can rise to the occasion. Should we decide to form an alliance, it would require mutual comprehension, empathy, shared objectives, and a clear grasp of global dynamics.”

Significantly, following the terrorist attack on April 22 that targeted tourists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, resulting in 26 fatalities and numerous injuries primarily among visitors, India decided to downgrade diplomatic relations with Pakistan.

The measures involve halting the implementation of the Indus Water Treaty from 1960 between the two nations. Additionally, Pakistan’s Defense, Military, Naval, and Air Advisors at their High Commission in New Delhi have been labeled as persona non grata and must depart India within seven days.

The government has affirmed its resolve to deal a crushing blow to terrorism. It has been said that the terrorists responsible for the attack and the conspirators behind it will face severe punishment. (ANI)
