New York City:
On Saturday (local time), Congress MP Shashi Tharoor highlighted how India measured and calibrated in Pakistan in Pakistan, in which 26 people were killed. He gave the world a phone to come together to fight against terrorism unitedly.
Commenting at the Indian Consulate, Mr. Tharoor mentioned the journey by members of the All-party delegation for the 9/11 memorial, his first stop.
He said, “It was clearly a very moving moment for us, but it was also to send a very strong message that we are here in a city that is still affecting the mark of that barbaric terrorist attack in the wake of another terrorist attack in our country.”
Mr. Tharoor said, “We both came as a reminder that it is a common problem, but also out of a sense of solidarity with the victims … it’s a global problem, this is a crisis and we all should fight it unitedly.”
Speaking about the objective of the all-party delegation’s visit, Mr. Tharoor said, “Our idea is to talk to a cross section of public and political opinion in many countries that we are going about recent events, which clearly bother many people around the world. The fundamental underlying problem remains and it is important that we increase our thinking and our anxiety.”
“So this is an opportunity for us, we will be in every country, will meet the members of the executive, meet members of the legislature, meet big tankers and influential foreign policy experts, as well as interact with media and public opinion in each of these places.”
Talking about the city Pahgam terror attack, Mr. Tharoor said, “It was a group of people who were roaming in front of them to identify people’s religions and kill them on the basis that clearly intended to incite a backlash in the rest of India, because the victims were heavy Hindus.”
He gave various examples from Indian society to politicians to citizens in Jammu and Kashmir, people came together in solidarity. “There was an extraordinary amount of solidarity in religious and other partitions that people have tried to incite. The message is very clear that there was a fatal intention … India, sadly, was saddened that it was no reason to doubt where it came from.”
Explaining more information, Mr. Tharoor mentioned, “Within an hour of atrocities, a group called Resistance Morcha claimed a credit. The resistance was known for a few years, known as a frontal organization of Lashkar e -Taiba, which in America, as well as joint nation’s restrictions with United Nations restrictions, they screened. The day reiterated its claim.
“Sadly, Pakistan chose to follow its common path to refusal, in fact, Pakistan, with the help of China, was successful in removing the reference of TRF from the press statement prepared in the UN Security Council two days later.”
Speaking about India’s response in view of the Pahgam terror attack, Mr. Tharoor said, “I don’t work for the government, as you know. I work for a opposition party, but I myself wrote an up-ed in one of the major letters of India, within a few days I had come and said that the time had come and I was happy to say what India has done.
