Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said that post-Pahalgam attacks, there is now going to be a new norm that no one sitting in Pakistan is going to be allowed to believe that they can just walk across the border and kill Indian citizens with impunity, as he asserted that there will be a “price to pay.”
Tharoor is leading a delegation of Indian parliamentarians to Guyana, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, and the US, conveying India’s resolve against terrorism and emphasising Pakistan’s links to terrorism. In an interaction hosted by the Consulate General of India in New York with a select group of prominent members of the Indian-American community and individuals from leading media and think tanks on Saturday (local time), Tharoor said that India’s message to Pakistan has been clear: “We didn’t want to start anything.”
“We were just sending a message to terrorists. You started, we replied. If you stop, we stop. And they stopped. There was an 88-hour war. We look back on that with a great deal of frustration because it needn’t have happened at all,” Tharoor said. “There is now a new norm. No one sitting in Pakistan is going to be allowed to believe that they can just walk across the border and kill our citizens with impunity. There will be a price to pay and that price has been going up systematically,” he added.
Tharoor further underscored that India is “not interested, and we still remain absolutely clear, we are not interested in warfare with Pakistan.” He added that “India sent a clear message that it was not going to take terror lying down and it would answer.
