  • The exchange followed a similar confrontation a day earlier when an Indian (ANI) journalist asked Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif when he would stop harbouring terrorists; Sharif did not respond.
  • India's UN envoy Harish Parvathaneni backed Jaishankar, telling the journalist he had 'heard' the response 'loud and clear'.
  • The episode unfolded against the backdrop of recent attacks on commercial shipping near the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, including a fatal attack on an Indian seafarer aboard the MV Cape Dao.
