In an interview with Al Arabiya, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor discussed the significance of India's counterstrike, Operation Sindoor, in the context of rising tensions with Pakistan. He described "sindoor," the vermilion mark worn by married women, as a poignant symbol of the grief experienced by victims of the recent Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 25 individuals, including Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, just days after his wedding. Tharoor highlighted the emotional weight of the operation's name, linking the color of sindoor to the bloodshed caused by terrorists, and praised the choice as "brilliant." He also criticized Pakistan as a "master of denial" regarding its involvement in terrorism, asserting that India seeks to maintain peace and focus on its own development, while Pakistan's revisionist ambitions threaten stability.
