The land of M Gandhi won’t turn the other cheek but will retaliate : Shashi Tharoor, Congress MP

Panama City (Panama) – If India faces another terrorist attack, our country will not turn the other cheek like M Gandhi, but will give a befitting reply to the attack, said Congress MP Shashi Tharoor at a programme organised at the Indian Embassy here. India has sent all-party delegations to various countries to inform the world about the terrorist attack in Pahalgam and the ‘Operation Sindoor’ carried out by India subsequently. One of these delegations has reached Panama on the American continent. Tharoor was speaking there.

Shashi Tharoor further said that M Gandhi, through his courageous leadership in the freedom struggle, taught us that we should always stand up for our rights and live without fear. In India, we have to fight terrorism today. Those whom the world calls terrorists think that ‘they are achieving some big political or religious goal by coming to India and killing innocent people.’ No self-respecting country will fall prey to such things. Now India should punish not only the terrorists, but also those who support and feed them.

Editorial Perspectives

  • After 75 years, India, especially a Congress MP, realised how flawed the ideology of M Gandhi was. This is delayed wisdom.
  • India must go beyond this and destroy its enemies even before they attack India. Only then will incidents like Pahalgam stop forever.
