Shashi Tharoor-led India delegation builds US consensus on counterterrorism post-Operation Sindoor

An Indian parliamentary delegation led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor visited the 9/11 Memorial in New York City immediately upon arrival in the United States, sending a strong, deliberate signal of solidarity and shared experience in the fight against terrorism.

Tharoor described India’s recent counterterrorism response, post-Operation Sindoor, as "precise and calibrated,"
The delegation’s visit to the memorial was intended to convey that "New York has also suffered a terror attack 20 years back and we have the same experience,"
In discussions with US think tanks, academics, and media representatives, the delegation emphasized that India’s anti-terror campaign is a settled national consensus, not a partisan agenda. Tharoor stated firmly that India will not tolerate terrorism.

The presence of opposition leaders like Tharoor and Salman Khurshid strengthens the message abroad, signaling unity in India’s counterterrorism efforts.

Following their engagements in New York, the delegation plans to travel to Georgetown, Guyana, to attend Independence Day ceremonies and meet government officials, furthering diplomatic ties.

This diplomatic blitz highlights India’s strategic approach to counterterrorism, blending military precision with international consensus-building to address global security challenges.
