Addressing the media at the Indian Consulate in New York, Tharoor said, ‘We are not interested in war with Pakistan. We would like to be alone to increase our economy and bring our people into the 21st century world. But, sadly, we can have status quo force for Pakistanis, but they are not.

Terrorism is a global problem: Tharoor
On reaching the US, the all -party delegation led by Tharoor visited the 9/11 memorial site and expressed solidarity with the victims of the terrorist attack. He said that the delegation’s visit reminds that terrorism is a common problem for both India and America.
He said that this was certainly a very poignant moment for us, but its purpose was to give a very strong message that we are here in a city which is still facing the mark of that brutal terrorist attack in view of another terrorist attack in our own country. We have come as a reminder that this is a common problem, but also with a sense of solidarity with the victims, including Indians. This is a global problem, we have to fight unitedly with it.
What did Shashi Tharoor say on the Pahalgam attack?
Talking about the terrorist attack on 22 April in Pahalgam, Kashmir, Tharoor said, “Within an hour of this atrocities, a group named Razistance Front took credit for this. The Resistance Front was considered a mask organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has been banned for a few years, which is in the terrorist list nominated by the US as well as the United Nations Ban Committee. And India went to the United Nations Ban Committee with information about the resistance front in 2023 and 2024, and now, sadly it took action in 2025, he reiterated his claim the next day.
