Shashi Tharoor has clearly stated that India will no longer take the first step to improve relations with Pakistan. India’s patience has responded due to repeated deception and betrayal. Tharoor has told Pakistan that it would have to completely eliminate the terrorist network running from its land and should not show any apathy in closing the terrorist camp. Referring to the 2008 Mumbai attacks, he said that India has strong evidence of Pakistan’s involvement, but no effective action was taken on it. India showed restraint after the attacks, but due to frequent abolition, surgical strikes and operations had to take steps like vermilion. Tharoor also said that peace and peace on the border are essential for our national interest and friendship is possible there, as between America-Vietnam and France-Germany. Now it is the turn of Pakistan to prove its intentions and take concrete steps against terrorism.
