New York:
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has said that the post -Pahalgam attack, now it is going to be a new ideal that no one sitting in Pakistan is allowed to believe that they can simply walk on the border and kill Indian citizens implicated, as they said that “the price to pay would be a price”.
Tharoor is leading a delegation of Indian MPs for Guyana, Panama, Columbia, Brazil and America, expressing India’s resolve against terrorism and emphasizing Pakistan’s relations for terrorism.
Multi-prone delegations from various countries would underline that the conflict with Pakistan was recently triggered by the Pahgam terror attack, not Operation Sindoor, as allegedly by Islamabad.
Anti -anti -Uperation Sindoor launched by India targeted the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan -occupied Kashmir.
In a conversation organized by a selected group of prominent members of the Indian-American community and a selected group of individuals of major media and think tanks on Saturday, Tharoor said that India’s message to Pakistan is clear: “We didn’t want to start anything”.
“We were sending only a message to the terrorists. You started, we replied. If you stayed, we stopped. And they stopped. There was an 88-hour war. We look back with great frustrations because it has not happened at all. Life is lost.
“Now a new ideal has become. No person sitting in Pakistan is allowing them to believe that they can simply walk on the border and kill our citizens with impurity. There will be a price to pay and the price is increasing systematically,” Tharur said.
He said that India has focused on a very different story from some of its neighbors.
“Now our focus for a few years has been on the world’s fastest growing free market democracy, attempting to focus on the development of our economy, our high emphasis on technology and technology and technological development is drawing a large number of people from below the poverty line” not only in the 21st century, but the 21st century opportunities in the world.
Tharoor spoke in detail about the Pihilam attack in Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April, killing 26 citizens, including a Nepali citizen, for which the resistance front took responsibility and then retreated.
He highlighted the method of nostril, in which tourists were taken out and targeted on the basis of their religion, and the anti -anti -counter measures taken by India through Operation Sindoor, which targeted the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan -occupied Kashmir. He also listed various terrorist attacks – 26/11, from Mumbai terror attacks to Uri and Pulwama attacks – were done by Pakistani terrorist organizations in India.
The delegation LED by Tharoor Includes Sarfaraz Ahmad (JMM), Ganti Harish Madhur Balayogi (TDP), Shashank Mani Tripathi (BJP), Bhubaneswar Kalita (BJP), Milind Deora (Shiv Saina), TEJASVI Surya (BJP), and India’s Former Ambassador to the US Taranjit Sandhu.
The delegation reached New York on Saturday and will travel to Guyana from here. It will return to America on 3 June.
Tharoor said that India is “not taking interest, and we are still absolutely clear, we are not interested in war with Pakistan.” We will give up a lot to develop our economy and put our people of the 21st century in the world, he said.
“We do not have the desire to be anything that Pakistanis have. Sadly we can have a status quo power. They are not. They are a revisionist power. They control India, and they want to keep it at any cost.
“And if they cannot get it through traditional means, they are ready to get it through terrorism. It is not acceptable for us, and it is really a message that we are here to give to all of you in this country and other places,” he said.
Tharoor said that India “now determined that it has a new lower line.” He said that over the years, India has tried to do everything by giving complaints to the International Dosier, Ban Committee, Diplomacy.
“Everything has been tried. Pakistan is built in denial. There is no punishment, there is no prosecution of terrorists, there is no attempt to eliminate terrorist infrastructure in that country and a continuous presence of safe havens.
“So from our point of view, it’s this. You do this, you are going to get it back. And we have performed with this operation that we can do it with a degree of accuracy and with a degree of restraint that the world, we hope, we will understand.
“We have the right to self-defense. We have exercised that right. We have not done such irresponsible … This is actually the message that I wanted to give to all of you today.” “I do not work for the government, as you know, I work for an opposition party,” Tharoor said, he said that he wrote an op-ed within a few days of the Pahalgam attack, saying “Time was the time to make a hard, hit smart hit”.
“And I am happy to say that India has done the same.” He said that “India sent a clear message” that it was not going to lie down terror and would answer it.
“But evenly, that very accurately calculated, the strike was calibrated at very specific goals, it was also sending a message that it was not to be inaugurated in a circulation war, but just a task of vengeance, that we were ready to stay with the Act.”
