India's Firm Response to Cross-Border Terrorism: Shashi Tharoor's Address
Shashi Tharoor discussed India's perspective on the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir and the subsequent response. His delegation's visit to the US, starting with a visit to the 9/11 memorial, aimed to convey a message of shared concern about terrorism and solidarity with victims. During his address, he outlined the context of the visit, the details surrounding the terrorist attack, India's retaliation, and the shifting dynamics in India-Pakistan relations.
Tharoor explained that the delegation's visit was to engage with political leaders, experts, and the media in several countries to explain India's views on recent events.
The Terrorist Attack in Kashmir
Tharoor described a shift in India's focus towards economic development and the progress seen in Jammu and Kashmir, including a significant increase in tourism. He detailed a specific terrorist attack where victims were identified by their religion (Hindu) and kil*ed , emphasizing the intent to provoke a backlash . He highlighted the resilience and unity shown by Indians and Kashmiris in response to this atrocity.
India's Retaliation
Tharoor stated that a group called the Resistance Front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack. India's response involved precise and calibrated strikes on known terrorist bases and launchpads in Pakistan. He emphasized that this was an act of retribution, not the start of a war, and that this message was conveyed through official channels.
Pakistan's Response and Escalation
Pakistan's "indiscriminate shelling" across the border resulted in civilian casualties. This led to further retaliation by India, targeting Pakistani military installations. Eventually, Pakistan requested a cessation of hostilities, leading to an 88-hour conflict.
A New Normal
Tharoor stressed India's determination to establish a "new normal" where cross-border terrorism will be met with a price. He recounted past instances of Pakistani denial and lack of action against terrorism, including the Mumbai attacks and the harboring of Osama bin Laden.
Shifting Indian Response
Tharoor highlighted a change in India's approach, from initially seeking cooperation to conducting surgical strikes across the Line of Control (LOC) in 2015 and even crossing the international border with airstrikes in Balakot in 2019.
India's Stance
Tharoor reiterated that India is not interested in warfare with Pakistan and prefers to focus on its economic growth. He contrasted India as a status quo power with Pakistan as a revisionist power seeking to acquire Indian territory through terrorism. He concluded by emphasizing India's right to self-defense and the message that such acts of terrorism will be met with a firm response.
