Shashi Tharoor, while leading a cross-party delegation in the US, reflected on India’s strained relationship with Pakistan, pointing to the 2015 peace overtures—like PM Modi’s surprise Lahore visit—that were met with betrayal when the Pathankot terror attack followed months later. He argued that India’s patience with diplomacy has worn thin, leading to a tougher stance, including targeted military operations like Operation Sindoor against terror camps.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about revisiting old wounds—it’s a reminder of why India’s policy toward Pakistan hardened over the years. Tharoor’s comments underscore a broader shift from dialogue to deterrence, signaling that trust is irreparably broken. For readers, it’s a sobering look at how terror attacks reshape foreign policy, and why hopes for reconciliation keep fading.

An Indian delegation, featuring diverse political voices like AIMIM's Asaduddin Owaisi and Ghulam Nabi Azad, delivered a sharp message in Bahrain: stop using religion to justify terrorism. They stressed that Islam itself condemns such violence and called out Pakistan for allegedly harboring terror networks. The group urged Bahrain and the international community to pressure Pakistan to dismantle these systems, with Phangnon Konyak pointing to decades of alleged Pakistani-backed terrorism since India's partition.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just diplomatic posturing—it’s a strategic move to isolate Pakistan on the global stage. By rallying Muslim-majority nations like Bahrain to reject terrorism "in Islam’s name," India aims to undercut Pakistan’s longstanding narrative. The delegation’s bipartisan makeup (including Owaisi, a vocal Muslim leader) adds weight to their argument. For regional stability, the world’s response (or silence) will signal whether Pakistan faces growing pressure or continues operating with impunity.
