Emphasizing that no dialogue with Pakistan cannot be held unless it decides to eliminate terrorist operators built in his country, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who is leading an all-party delegation, said that India understands that the disputes should be resolved through dialogue, but it does not believe in the communication with a gun which is dated.

“I would like you to understand our attitude; we do not disagree about the importance of peace. Are correct
“When we understand that disputes should be decided through dialogue, we do not believe in a conversation with a gun pointing to our forehead. When Pakistan, who has used terrorism as a tool of state policy, actually decides to eliminate terrorist operators manufactured in our country, then we can talk about dialogue. I can not prepare these people.”
In addition, the Congress MP underlined a series of developments starting with the April 22 Pahalgam attack, killing 26 civilians.
“On April 22, we carried out a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, and it was a deadly provocative, because what he had had done was not only to attack and kill innocent tourists on holiday in a peaceful part of Kashmir. At the time when Kashmir was growing and rich, we were doubled to the fight;

We gave a very strong message because we had killed nine known terrorist headquarters, launch pads, and hideouts in Pakistan. Infrastructure,” said the Congress MP.
“Unfortunately, Pakistan opted to take vengeance in a very irresponsible manner with firing on civilian areas. They killed people, children, homes, children on the streets. If you kill us, we will barely kill you, and if you stop, we stopped and after 18 hours, we stopped,” he said.
Shashi Tharoor also highlighted the unity of the delegation, which he is a leader, emphasizing that it includes five different political parties and people of different religions.
He said, “Seven MPs who I am representing five political parties, seven different states of India, three religions, and yet we are all united in a mission. The mission is to reach people like you and increase our concern about recent events in our country,” he said.
