Shashi Tharoor Reacts To Bilawal Bhutto’s “Blood Will Flow” Remark

Thiruvananthapuram:

The nation has been demanding military action against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack, and some visible military response is unavoidable, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has said as tensions soared between the two countries after the massacre of 26 civilians in Jammu and Kashmir.

Calling it a “long pattern” seen over a quarter century, the former diplomat said that Pakistan always denies responsibility for terror attacks in India despite training and arming terrorists across the border.

“I think it’s very clear that there is a pattern. People are encouraged, trained, armed, and often guided from across the border. Then Pakistan denies all responsibility. Eventually, responsibility is established and proven, including by foreign intelligence agencies,” he told the news agency ANI.

Mr Tharoor pointed out there was retaliation from the Indian side after the 2016 Uri attacks and 2019 Pulwama attacks, and suggested that this time, Pakistan might face a stricter response from India.
