Shashi Tharoor disappointed over Colombia’s stand on Operation Sindoor, slams Pakistan

Speaking to reporters in Bogota, Tharoor said, “We are here looking for understanding... We have the impression that perhaps the situation was not fully understood when that one statement was made.”

“Understanding is extremely important for us,” he continued. “We are a country which has really been a force for constructive progress in the world.”

Tharoor underlined that India’s response was a matter of self-defence and not aggression. “We certainly hope that other governments will tell those who give safe haven and protection to terrorists to stop doing so. That would be very helpful indeed, as well in the Security Council or outside it,” he added.
