Operation Sindoor: Shashi Tharoor minces no words on 3rd party mediation | India-Pakistan War

May 30, 2025

Description: Bogota (Colombia), May 30, 2025 (ANI): Speaking on the question of third party mediation, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said that India has received a number of phone calls from officials of different countries like United States, France, UAE, Saudi Arabia and many more. He said, "...We received a number of phone calls from Senior United States officials and also from senior officials of other countries, of France, of UAE, of Saudi Arabia and so on. And the message we gave to all these countries was exactly the same. We are not interested in war. We were just conducting retribution for a terrorist attack. If they stop, we stop. If that message was then in turn conveyed by such countries to Pakistan, it may well have had an effect in persuading Pakistan to stop knowing that their stopping would also mean India would stop. So it's possible that that's what happened. But certainly there was no sort of active process of mediation that we are aware of. Certainly nothing involving us because we never intended to begin with from the very first day when the anti-terror strikes took place on the night of the 7th of May... We are not the belligerent power in this particular equation."
