All-party delegation leader Shashi Tharoor said on Thursday that terrorism should not have the support to address international controversies.
Addressing the Panamanian side under the leadership of Panamanian Foreign Minister Javier Martinez Acha, Tharoor, while referring to the Pahgam terror attack on 22 April, said that India would go after criminals of terrorism.
“Terrorism should not have a support to try to address international disputes. If there are problems, there are other ways to deal with them; Sending terrorists on the border is simply unacceptable, and it should be clarified. We should go to ourselves after criminals, killers, and we will do so.”
Tharoor said that countries which provide a safe shelter to terrorists should also be held accountable.
“But those who give them safe shelter, people who protect them, train them, distribute them, send them and guide them, they should also be held accountable. And rapidly I think it will be unavoidable to face this particular aspect of challenge for us,” he said.
Tharoor also thanked India for the support of Panama in relation to a seat in the United Nations Security Council.
“I want to start by thanking you for the very creative statement that I play in the Panama and Security Council released on the subject. And we definitely hope that your ambassador will continue to show your instructions for your position for India’s position.
Explaining the purpose of the all-party delegation, Tharoor said that the idea behind it is to explain the Pahalgam terror attack and the later Indian story.
“Our delegation, which covers five political parties and represents all parts of the country. And what we are trying to do is to go to some countries of the region. The Prime Minister has also sent small delegations to other areas. It is considered that to explain our perspectives about recent events in our country, and whatever we are doing, what we are doing is.
Earlier in the day, Acha supported India for a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council.
Acha, during his address of All-party delegation Group 5 led by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, noted the stable bilateral relations between the two countries.
He said, “This is not the first time I say this, but perhaps this is the first time you hear. I have publicly stated that India deserves to stay in the UN Security Council,” he said.
