Overview

  • India’s delegation in Washington, led by Shashi Tharoor, confronted a smaller Pakistani team led by Bilawal Bhutto over competing accounts of the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor.
  • Tharoor invoked Hillary Clinton’s “You can’t breed vipers in your backyard” warning to challenge Pakistan’s assertion that it suffers more terrorism than India.
  • He asserted that India did not request any U.S. mediation to halt its May 7–10 strikes and emphasized that Indian forces stopped their campaign the moment Pakistan ceased its counterattacks.
  • Tharoor presented satellite imagery showing strikes on 11 Pakistani airfields during Operation Sindoor and said Pakistan quietly asked to halt hostilities on May 10.
  • India has dispatched seven all-party delegations to 33 countries as part of its global campaign to isolate Pakistan over terror support and insists dialogue hinges on Islamabad dismantling terror networks.
