"India Has A Legit Right To Self-Defence": Former US NSA John Bolton Exclusive | Read
India is "entitled to retaliate and try to eliminate terrorist threats" to its sovereignty and people, ex-US national security advisor John Bolton told NDTV Monday evening, nearly two weeks after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam left 26 people, mostly civilians, dead.
Mr Bolton, who was NSA to President Donald Trump in his first term, acknowledged to NDTV that India had a "legitimate right to self-defence" when faced with the threat of terrorism, but also urged Delhi to exhaust all diplomatic avenues before launching a military counterstrike.
