Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, while leading an all -party Indian parliamentary delegation in the US, described Operation Sindoor as a “brilliantly chosen name” and a powerful response against terrorism. Addressing the National Press Club on Wednesday, Tharoor connected the name of Operation to symbolically erasing the traditional marriage symbol vermilion by Hindu women during the terrorist attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.

Sindoor took revenge with blood
Tharoor said that 26 Indian women became widows in the Pahalgam attack and described the selection of Operation Sindoor as culturally inspiring and emotionally echoing. He said, “The vermilion is a mark of vermilion on the forehead of married women in the Hindu tradition. These terrorists erased it. Its color is not very different from blood. So yes, it was the revenge of vermilion.” He told how the terrorists left the wives of those who were deliberately killed so that they would “go back to tell others what happened,” which made this act even more dreadful.

Trump’s claim rejected again
Tharoor said that I can just say that we respect the post of President of America and the US President a lot. We can only say for ourselves that we never wanted to ask anyone to mediate. He said at the National Press Club that India had no problem in responding to Pakistanis in their own. He said that as long as he continues to use terrorism, we will use force. No third party is required for this.
