Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar’s remarks to Poland on terrorism have sparked backlash from Pakistani netizens, with many accusing India of attempting to dictate regional and global foreign policy.

Jaishankar told the Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski in New Delhi that they were “no stranger to our region” and urged Poland to "display zero tolerance for terrorism and not help fuel terrorist infrastructure in our neighbourhood”. 

The remarks referred to the discussions between Pakistan and Poland on October 2025, where both sides stressed the need to find peaceful solutions to conflicts, in full respect of the principles of international law and the UN Charter.

After a video of Jaishankar’s remarks circulated online, Pakistani users reacted sharply. One wrote, “Lol, what does India think it is? A superpower or economic power or some shit so it thinks it can dictate the world?” Another stated, “India can not dictate world and their governments on their foreign policy.”

Other users dismissed India’s attempts to influence other countries, questioned whether similar language would be used towards the United States, or mocked the Indian minister as desperate.

Several reactions were more critical, accusing India of being a hostile neighbour and alleging that its foreign minister routinely makes statements targeting Pakistan.
