Shashi Tharoor, Congress MP, issued a stern warning to Pakistan, saying that India would retaliate strongly to any provocation. During the diplomatic forum in Guyana, he clarified that India strongly believes in peace and the recent strikes against terror camps in Pakistan were purely retaliatory, emphasizing that India did not want war. He said that Operation Sindoor, under which India destroyed 9 terror infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), were a response to the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam and not the start of a larger military campaign.

What did Shashi Tharoor say about India’s retaliation?

He said, “We had no desire to convey that it was the opening salvo in what was meant to be a sort of protracted war. Each strike was retaliatory; each action taken by India was only in response to Pakistan.” He noted, “When governments called us to express concern, we conveyed exactly this message throughout, which is that we are not interested in war.” Tharoor added, “If Pakistan stops, we will have no reason to retaliate, and that is, in the end, what happened on the morning of the 10th of May, Indian time; they reached out to our Director General of Military Operations.”

According to Tharoor, Islamabad’s outreach, which reportedly initiated backchannel communication seeking de-escalation, marked a turning point.
