Congress MP Shashi Tharoor strongly defended India’s strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and PoK, calling them a “sensibly calibrated response” and asserting, “a price is to be paid for this kind of conduct.” Speaking to an Australian news outlet, Tharoor justified the action, citing the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. “Pakistan-based terrorists, almost armed, financed, and guided from Pakistan, have come to our country and killed innocent civilians,” he said. Tharoor criticized the Pakistani military, calling it “deeply unpopular” and the only entity to gain from the violence, while praising India’s precision strikes and restraint. (PC: Hindustan Times)
