Terror has no place in India & US: Tharoor as people burned at US pro-Israel event
The recent pro-Israel rally in the United States has taken a horrific turn, with a man setting six people on fire. The incident has sent shockwaves across the globe, with leaders from various countries condemning the act of terrorism. Among those who have spoken out against the attack is Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who has emphasized that terror has no place in either India or the United States.
Tharoor, who is leading an Indian delegation to the US, expressed his concern over the attack and shared the views of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who had also condemned the incident. “Members of the Indian MPs’ delegation learned with concern about the terror attack,” Tharoor said. “We share Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s view that ‘terror has no place’ in our countries.”
The incident took place during a pro-Israel rally in Los Angeles, where a man doused six people with flammable liquid and set them on fire. The victims were rushed to the hospital, where they are receiving treatment for their severe burns. The attack has sent shockwaves across the political spectrum, with leaders from both sides of the aisle condemning the act of terrorism.
Tharoor’s statement is significant, as it reflects the widespread condemnation of the attack across the globe. The Indian government has also condemned the attack, with the Ministry of External Affairs issuing a statement expressing its “deep concern” over the incident. “We strongly condemn the heinous act of terrorism and express our deepest condolences to the victims and their families,” the statement read.
The attack has also sparked a heated debate about the rise of anti-Semitic attacks in the US. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has reported a significant increase in anti-Semitic incidents in recent years, with many of these incidents being linked to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The ADL has also condemned the attack, with CEO Jonathan Greenblatt stating that “there is no room for hate and violence in our society.” “We urge all leaders and communities to speak out against anti-Semitism and to work towards a future where all people can live without fear of persecution,” Greenblatt added.
The attack has also sparked a debate about the role of social media in spreading hate speech. Many have argued that social media platforms have failed to adequately address the spread of hate speech and anti-Semitic rhetoric, which has contributed to the rise of anti-Semitic attacks.
Tharoor’s statement is significant, as it reflects the need for leaders to speak out against hate speech and terrorism. By condemning the attack, Tharoor is sending a strong message that terror has no place in either India or the United States.
The Indian delegation will be heading to the US on Tuesday, and it is expected that they will meet with US officials to discuss the attack and other issues of mutual concern. The delegation will be led by Tharoor, who is a member of the Indian Parliament and has been involved in several initiatives aimed at promoting peace and understanding between India and the US.
In conclusion, the recent pro-Israel rally attack in the US is a stark reminder of the dangers of terrorism and hate speech. The attack has sent shockwaves across the globe, and leaders from various countries have condemned the incident. Tharoor’s statement is significant, as it reflects the need for leaders to speak out against hate speech and terrorism. By condemning the attack, Tharoor is sending a strong message that terror has no place in either India or the United States.
