Tharoor Rejects Colombia’s Pakistan Condolences Over Operation

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has voiced strong disapproval of Colombia’s expression of condolences regarding casualties sustained in Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. Tharoor asserted a fundamental distinction exists between those perpetrating terrorist acts and those acting in self-defense, implying Colombia’s statement inappropriately equated the two. The remarks highlight a sensitive diplomatic point, particularly given the context of cross-border operations and accusations of state-sponsored terrorism. While acknowledging the tragedy of any loss of life, Tharoor’s statement firmly positions him against any moral equivalence between aggressors and those responding to attacks, a stance likely to resonate with those who view Operation Sindoor as a legitimate defensive action. The incident underscores the complexities of international responses to regional conflicts and the challenges of navigating nuanced geopolitical situations.
