Shashi Tharoor ‘disappointed’ that Colombia expressed sympathies with Pakistan during Operation Sindoor

Indian politician Shashi Tharoor has expressed his disappointment with the Colombian government's recent expression of sympathy towards Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack, which was part of Operation Sindoor. Tharoor, known for his articulate and forthright views, criticized Colombia for what he sees as a lack of understanding of the complexities surrounding the situation. He emphasized that the attack in Pahalgam was a serious breach of peace and security and required global condemnation. Tharoor further highlighted India's right to defend its national interests and ensure the safety of its citizens, urging the international community to stand in solidarity with India against terrorism. He pointed out that any form of support or sympathy for parties involved in such attacks could inadvertently embolden further acts of violence and destabilize the region. For Tharoor, Colombia’s stance was not just a diplomatic misstep but also a missed opportunity to align with global efforts against terrorism. In response to Colombia's stance, Tharoor called for a more informed and nuanced understanding of the geopolitical tensions in South Asia. He suggested that nations should engage in comprehensive dialogues to better appreciate the challenges faced by countries like India in combating terrorism. Tharoor's comments have sparked discussions on the importance of international cooperation in addressing terrorism and ensuring regional stability.
