No Equivalence between Pak & India: Tharoor on Colombia’s Reaction on Op Sindoor
The recent decision by Colombia to condole the loss of lives in Pakistan due to Operation Sindoor has sparked outrage in India. The move has been criticized by many, including Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who has stressed that there can be no equivalence between India and Pakistan. In a recent statement, Tharoor expressed disappointment over Colombia’s decision, saying that it is “unacceptable” to equate the two countries.
Tharoor’s comments come as a reaction to the Colombian delegation’s visit to Pakistan to offer condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the military operation. The move has been seen as a clear indication of Colombia’s support for Pakistan, despite the fact that the operation was launched in response to a terrorist attack carried out by Pakistan-based terrorists.
In his statement, Tharoor emphasized that there can be no equivalence between India and Pakistan when it comes to terrorism. He said that India is a victim of terrorism, and that its actions are aimed at defending itself against terrorist attacks. On the other hand, Pakistan is the country that is responsible for sponsoring and supporting terrorism, he added.
“There can be no equivalence between those who dispatch terrorists and those who resist…those who attack and those who defend. We’re exercising our right of self-defence,” Tharoor said in an interview. He also emphasized that India’s actions are aimed at protecting its citizens and its territory, and that it is not seeking to harm Pakistan or its people.
Tharoor’s comments have been widely welcomed by many in India, who see the Colombian delegation’s visit as a clear example of the bias and double standards that are often applied to the India-Pakistan conflict. Many have pointed out that Colombia has not taken a similar stance on terrorism, and that its decision to visit Pakistan and offer condolences is seen as a clear attempt to appease the country’s government.
The move has also been criticized by some in Pakistan, who have accused Colombia of being biased towards India. However, many others have welcomed the visit, seeing it as a sign of the country’s commitment to peace and diplomacy.
The decision by Colombia to visit Pakistan and offer condolences has also been seen as a blow to India’s efforts to isolate Pakistan internationally. India has been trying to build a consensus against Pakistan’s alleged support for terrorism, and the Colombian delegation’s visit has undermined this effort.
The move has also raised questions about the role of foreign powers in the India-Pakistan conflict. Many have pointed out that countries like Colombia and China are increasingly playing a significant role in the region, and that their actions can have a significant impact on the conflict.
In recent years, China has been increasingly involved in the region, and has been accused of supporting Pakistan’s alleged support for terrorism. The country has also been trying to build a strong relationship with India, and has been critical of Pakistan’s alleged support for terrorism.
The Colombian delegation’s visit to Pakistan has also raised questions about the role of diplomacy in the India-Pakistan conflict. Many have pointed out that diplomacy is an important tool in resolving conflicts, and that it is often the best way to resolve disputes peacefully.
However, others have argued that diplomacy is not always effective in resolving conflicts, and that it is often necessary to take more decisive action to protect one’s interests. In the case of the India-Pakistan conflict, many have argued that India’s actions are necessary to protect its citizens and its territory against terrorist attacks.
In conclusion, the Colombian delegation’s visit to Pakistan and its decision to offer condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in Operation Sindoor has sparked outrage in India. The move has been criticized by many, including Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who has emphasized that there can be no equivalence between India and Pakistan.
Tharoor’s comments have been widely welcomed by many in India, who see the Colombian delegation’s visit as a clear example of the bias and double standards that are often applied to the India-Pakistan conflict. The move has also raised questions about the role of foreign powers in the region, and the effectiveness of diplomacy in resolving conflicts.
