News India Live, Digital Desk: In a emotional moment during India’s diplomatic mission at Washington DC, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor unexpectedly questioned his own son Ishaan Tharoor. This moment came at a time when India is contacting global leaders after the country’s military response through the deadly terrorist attacks in Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor.
Shashi Tharoor is an all -party It is part of the Indian delegation who is visiting various capitals of the world to explain the situation in India and highlight the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Kashmir. While participating in a public discussion in Washington, Tharoor was shocked, but pleasantly, when his son Ishaan, who works as a journalist, stood up and handled the microphone.
Ishaan introduced himself in a funny manner and said that he wanted to say hello to him before his father went to another meeting. Then he asked a serious and direct question – has any country sought evidence of Pakistan’s involvement in Pahalgam terror attack from India? Pakistan has denied any kind of relationship with repeated attacks.
Tharoor smiled and replied that he did not ask his son to ask this question. He jokingly said, “This boy does this with his father.” Then he became serious and said, “No foreign government had sought evidence from the Indian delegation.” However, he admitted that some media outlets on “two or three places” raised the issue.
He said that India does not take action like operation vermilion without strong and reliable evidence. He said that the world understands this and the history of India’s action is witness. Tharoor said that most of the terrorist attacks in India in the last 37 years have been associated with Pakistan.
He also reminded the people that Pakistan had denied information about the presence of Osama bin Laden, while it was found living near a military base in Abbottabad. Similarly, Pakistan refused to attend the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. He firmly said, “Pakistan will send terrorists, then deny any role – even when they are caught red handed.”
Tharoor also criticized any discussion of America’s role as an intermediary between India and Pakistan. He said that mediation shows that both countries are equal in this case, whereas it is not so. He said, “There is no similarity between terrorists and their victims.” He said, “There is no comparison between a country that shelters democracy and terrorism like India.”
He said that after the attacks, senior American officials had expressed support by talking to Indian leaders. But he estimated that the US would have even talked to Pakistani leaders to prevent further violence. He said, “This is just my guess.”
Talking about Operation Sindoor, Tharoor said that India only attacked terrorist bases in Pakistan. In contrast, Pakistan attacked citizens in India because, as they said, “There is no terrorist base in India.” He said that India’s military campaign was “accurate and balanced”, and was not run by targeting common people. He said, “This is not India vs Pakistan. It is India vs terrorism.”
When he was asked about China’s support of China, including military technology, Tharoor accepted the role of investment in China’s belt and road initiative and China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. He revealed that Pakistan tried to use Chinese military systems during the struggle, but India discovered clever ways to respond.
He mentioned the Chinese system called “Kill Chen”, but said that India changed its strategy and postponed it. According to him, similarly the Indian Army managed to attack 11 airports across the border.
Tharoor commented on the deep meaning of struggle. He said that war is a distraction for India, but it is a way to remain powerful and relevant for Pakistan’s army. He also made satirical remarks about promoting himself after a failed operation by a Pakistani General. He said, “There was a lot of laughter in Delhi.”
