'That shouldn't be allowed': Shashi Tharoor answers son's question on Operation Sindoor at US press briefing
Thursday, 5 June 2025 () In a surprising moment, Shashi Tharoor was questioned by his son, Ishaan Tharoor of the Washington Post, during a foreign policy address. Ishaan inquired about evidence of Pakistan's involvement in the Pahalgam attack. Tharoor responded that India possessed convincing evidence before conducting Operation Sindoor. He highlighted Pakistan's history of denying involvement in terror attacks, citing the Mumbai attacks.
Washington D.C., USA: Group 5 of the all-party delegation, headed by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, took part in a discussion session at the National Press Club. During the session, they shared India’s views on global issues and engaged in meaningful conversations with the audience.
In a lighthearted yet sharp moment during a press conference in New York, Shashi Tharoor was questioned by none other than his son, Ishan Tharoor of The Washington Post. With a smile, Tharoor quipped, "That shouldn’t be allowed," before answering a serious question about Pakistan's role in the recent Pahalgam terror attack. Representing India’s diplomatic response to terrorism under Operation Sindoor, Tharoor emphasized there was “no doubt” among global stakeholders about Pakistan’s involvement. The brief family exchange added a personal touch to a high-stakes global briefing.
