On June 5, 2025, during a diplomatic visit to the United States, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor addressed Pakistan's assertions of being a terrorism victim. Responding to these claims, Tharoor questioned, "Whose fault is that?" He referenced former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 2011 remark: "You can't breed vipers in your backyard and expect them to bite only your neighbours." Tharoor highlighted that Pakistan now faces threats from groups like the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which evolved from entities initially supported by Islamabad. He urged Pakistan to introspect on its role in fostering terrorism before seeking global sympathy. Tharoor emphasized that India's focus remains on combating terrorism and promoting economic development, distancing from any India-Pakistan rivalry narrative. (PC: ANI)
