India Pakistan Ceasefire: Shashi Tharoor DEFENDS Peace, Hits Back At Posts Comparing 1971 To 2025

As the Congress invoked Indira Gandhi's 1971 Bangladesh war leadership to criticize the Modi government’s ceasefire deal with Pakistan, senior leader Shashi Tharoor urged a clear-eyed view of history.

Calling the 2025 scenario "entirely different," Tharoor said India needs peace, not endless escalation.

He emphasized the importance of preventing protracted conflict, arguing that while retaliation against terrorism is necessary, risking national stability without clear goals is not.

The comments mark a sharp political and strategic contrast to current government narratives amid rising border tensions.

Indian Navy Deploys Full Force in Arabian Sea–Ready to Strike Karachi if Ceasefire Broken|Op Sindoor

Following the brutal terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, the Indian Navy launched a powerful response under Operation Sindoor. Vice Admiral AN Pramod confirmed that India’s Carrier Battle Group, submarines, and air assets were deployed in full combat readiness within 96 hours. Positioned decisively in the northern Arabian Sea, Indian forces remain on high alert, capable of striking sea and land targets — including Karachi — if ceasefire violations continue. Pakistan’s naval and air units have been forced into a defensive posture, retreating to harbours under constant Indian surveillance. India’s response remains proportionate yet firm, signaling unmistakable deterrence. #OperationSindoor #IndianNavy #KarachiTargeted #PahalgamAttack #ViceAdmiralPramod #IndiaStrikesBack #NavalDeployment #CeasefireThreat #ArabianSea #PakNavy #FullCombatReadiness #WarshipsDeployed #PakistanTensions #IndiaDefense #IndianForces Also Read Pakistan Army Violates Ceasefire for 6th Consecutive Day, Indian Army Strikes Back :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-army-violates-ceasefire-for-6th-consecutive-day-indian-army-strikes-back-4139021.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistani Troops Violate Ceasefire In J-K, Suffer Heavy Casualties After Indian Army Retaliates :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistani-troops-heavy-casualties-ceasefire-violation-loc-poonch-011-4069697.html?ref=DMDesc Sharp Decline in Cross-Border Firing Incidents: Jitendra Singh Warns Against Lowering Guard :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/sharp-decline-in-cross-border-firing-incidents-jitendra-singh-gen-3669597.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.102~

On May 8, India neutralised Pakistan’s massive wave of drone and combat vehicle raids targeting key IAF bases from Jammu to Jaisalmer. The attacks came in waves but were completely neutralised by India’s vigilant air defence systems, including Pechora and SAMAR units. No damage occurred to any installations or personnel.

Trump Heads To Saudi Amid ‘$400Bn Deal’ Buzz | Will U.S. Recognize Palestine Without Hamas?

Saudi Arabia is set to host the Gulf-US Summit in mid-May during former President Trump’s second-term visit, with high-stakes announcements expected. Speculation is mounting that the U.S. may back recognition of a Palestinian state—without Hamas—in a move that could realign the Middle East. Economic deals, including tech and nuclear cooperation, are forecast to surpass $400 billion. With all Gulf leaders in attendance (except King Salman due to health), analysts predict this summit may reshape U.S.-Saudi ties and the regional power balance. #Trump #GulfSummit #USSaudiRelations #RiyadhSummit #MiddleEastPolitics #Palestine #SaudiArabia #TrumpVisit #GlobalDiplomacy #EconomicDeals #TechAgreements #Trump2025 #Riyadh #GulfLeaders #ArabWorld #MideastPeace #TrumpReturns #NuclearDeals #GulfNews #JerusalemPost #BreakingNews #Summit2025 #TrumpAbroad #ForeignPolicy #ArabSummit #PalestinianState #Geopolitics #TrumpSpeech #OilPolitics #GlobalImpact Also Read India-Saudi Arabia Relations: F15 Jets Escort PM Modi's Aircraft | Watch Video :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-saudi-arabia-relations-f15-jets-escort-pm-modi-aircraft-watch-video-4130835.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi Hails India-Saudi Ties as Pillar of Stability in a Shifting World :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-hails-india-saudi-ties-as-pillar-of-stability-in-a-shifting-world-4130609.html?ref=DMDesc Energy, Defence, And Investment Top Agenda For PM Modi’s Saudi Arabia Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/modi-saudi-visit-2025-strategic-ties-energy-trade-4129827.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~
