Terror has no place in India & US: Tharoor as people burned at US pro-Israel event
The world is no stranger to violence and terrorism, and unfortunately, it has become a regular occurrence in many parts of the globe. The latest incident of terror has taken place in the United States, where a man set fire to six people at a pro-Israel rally in Los Angeles. The incident has left the nation in shock and has sparked widespread condemnation.
Reacting to the incident, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who is leading an Indian delegation to the United States, expressed his concern and outrage at the attack. “Members of the Indian MPs’ delegation learned with concern about the terror attack,” he said. Tharoor’s delegation is scheduled to arrive in the US on Tuesday and will be meeting with various dignitaries and officials during their visit.
Tharoor also echoed the sentiments of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who had condemned the attack and stated that “terror has no place” in their countries. Tharoor added, “We share his view that terror has no place in our countries. We condemn all forms of violence and terrorism, and we stand in solidarity with the people of the United States in their fight against this menace.”
The attack, which took place on Saturday, was carried out by a man who poured gasoline on six people and set them on fire at a pro-Israel rally in the Los Angeles suburb of Van Nuys. The victims, who were taken to the hospital, suffered severe burns and are currently undergoing treatment.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from across the world. The US government has condemned the attack, and the FBI is investigating the incident as a hate crime. The Israeli government has also condemned the attack and has expressed its gratitude to the US government for its swift response.
Tharoor’s comments come at a time when India is itself grappling with the issue of terrorism. The country has been a victim of several terrorist attacks in recent years, including the Pulwama attack in 2019, which killed over 40 Indian soldiers. India has also been at the forefront of the fight against terrorism, and has been working closely with international partners to combat the menace.
The Indian government has also been vocal in its condemnation of terrorism and has called for collective action to combat the issue. In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs said, “India strongly condemns the heinous terrorist attack in Los Angeles. We stand in solidarity with the people of the United States and the Israeli community in their fight against terrorism.”
The attack in Los Angeles has once again highlighted the need for international cooperation to combat terrorism. Terrorism knows no borders, and it is essential for countries to work together to share intelligence and coordinate efforts to prevent such incidents.
Tharoor’s delegation is expected to meet with various US officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during their visit. The delegation is also scheduled to meet with Jewish community leaders and other stakeholders to discuss issues of mutual interest.
In conclusion, the attack at the pro-Israel rally in Los Angeles is a stark reminder of the threat posed by terrorism. India and the United States have a long history of cooperation on issues of national security, and it is essential that we continue to work together to combat this menace.
As Tharoor said, “Terror has no place in our countries.” We must stand together to condemn all forms of violence and terrorism, and work towards a world where such incidents are a thing of the past.
