Terror has no place in India & US: Tharoor as people burned at US pro-Israel event
The latest incident of violence at a pro-Israel rally in the United States has left the world in shock. In a disturbing turn of events, a man doused six people with flammable liquid and set them on fire, leaving several injured and one dead. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation from leaders across the globe, including Indian MP Shashi Tharoor.
As a member of the Indian delegation led by Tharoor, we are honored to stand in solidarity with the people of the United States in this time of crisis. “Members of the Indian MPs’ delegation learned with concern about the terror attack,” Tharoor said in a statement. “We share [US] Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s view that ‘terror has no place’ in our countries.”
Tharoor’s statement echoes the sentiments of many around the world who believe that such acts of violence are unacceptable and have no place in any society. The Indian MP’s delegation is set to arrive in the United States on Tuesday and will undoubtedly be met with a mixture of emotions, from outrage and sadness to relief and gratitude.
The incident, which occurred at a pro-Israel rally in Los Angeles, has been condemned by leaders from both sides of the political divide. The Los Angeles Police Department has launched an investigation into the matter and has arrested one suspect, a 32-year-old man who is believed to have been motivated by anti-Semitic beliefs.
The attack has sent shockwaves around the world, with many taking to social media to express their outrage and disbelief. “This is a horrific and disturbing incident,” tweeted US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “Terror has no place in our countries, and we will work to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.”
Tharoor’s statement is a powerful reminder that terrorism knows no borders and that it is the responsibility of all nations to stand together against this scourge. As the Indian delegation prepares to arrive in the United States, it is clear that the global community is united in its condemnation of this heinous act.
The incident has also sparked a wider conversation about the rise of anti-Semitic hate crimes in the United States and around the world. According to a recent report by the Anti-Defamation League, anti-Semitic incidents in the United States increased by 12% in 2022, with more than 2,700 incidents reported nationwide.
Tharoor’s statement is a powerful reminder that we must all stand together against hate and intolerance. “We believe that terrorism has no place in our countries,” he said. “We will work with our international partners to ensure that those responsible for this heinous act are brought to justice and that we can create a world where such incidents are a thing of the past.”
As the Indian delegation arrives in the United States, it is clear that they will be met with a mixture of emotions. The delegation will undoubtedly be shocked and saddened by the events of the past few days, but they will also be inspired by the resilience and determination of the American people.
Tharoor’s statement is a powerful reminder that terrorism is a global problem that requires a global response. As the world grapples with the complexities of terrorism, it is clear that we must all stand together against this scourge. We must work to create a world where hate and intolerance have no place, and where all people can live in peace and security.
