Polish Deputy PM Walks Away After NDTV Question on Pakistan’s Cross-Border Terror

Things got tense fast when Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister suddenly turned his back on a press Q&A, just as an NDTV reporter brought up Pakistan’s role in cross-border terrorism. That moment, caught on camera, quickly exploded across social media and kicked off a fresh round of arguments about how world leaders handle tough questions—and whether they actually hold each other accountable when it comes to terrorism.

So, what set everything off?

Right in the middle of the press scrum, an NDTV journalist asked the Deputy PM for his thoughts on Pakistan’s alleged involvement in cross-border attacks—a topic that always hits a nerve in India. Instead of answering, the Polish leader just walked off, leaving everyone hanging. It was awkward, and people noticed.

Within hours, the clip was everywhere. People started asking: Are world leaders dodging the hard stuff because they don’t want to upset diplomatic relationships? Why walk away from a question that matters?

Plenty of folks tried to make sense of the Deputy PM’s silent exit.

Some say it’s just how diplomacy works; leaders avoid messy topics to keep things smooth. Others aren’t buying it—they argue that clamming up on terrorism only encourages more silence, especially when countries like India have faced attack after attack.

India, for its part, keeps bringing up the issue of cross-border terrorism from Pakistan at every big international meeting. They’ve been crystal clear: the world needs to take a stand, not look the other way.

Online, things got heated.

Some users backed the Polish leader, saying he was just following protocol. But a lot more called him out, demanding real answers and more openness from leaders when it comes to terrorism. Hashtags blew up, with many venting about the double standards and selective outrage they see in global politics.

Why does this little standoff matter?

Well, it points to a bigger problem: a lot of world leaders go quiet when terrorism touches on tricky diplomatic ties. For India, it’s another reminder that they need to keep up the pressure and push for real, united action.

Will Poland or its Deputy PM say anything else about what happened?

Hard to say. Either way, the moment put the spotlight back on an old question—how serious is the world about confronting terrorism, and who’s willing to speak up when it actually counts?
