Indian delegation led by Shashi Tharoor to bolster nation's counter-terrorism discourse in Washington D.C.
Fired Up and Ready to Go: Shashi Tharoor's All-Party Delegation Tackles Terrorism and Tech
Washington D.C., here we come! That's what Shashi Tharoor and his high-powered delegation were thinking on June 4th as they touched down in the heart of America. Their mission? To challenge terrorism and step up tech cooperation.
The Indian Embassy delighted tweeted, "Shashi Tharoor and the clique have landed in Washington D.C. Over the next two action-packed days, the crew will be meeting up with the US Congress, administration, brainiacs, media, and policymakers. They'll be spilling the beans about Operation Sindoor and India's firm anti-terror stance."
Operation Sindoor, you ask? This is India's brilliant diplomatic move to stamp out terrorism and lies following disturbing attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
Before they even got their java fix at the airport, they were greeted by two Indian-American cops, Officers Harmanpreet Singh and Hundal. They then hit the ground running with interviews with CBS News, chats with their Ambassador Vinay Kwatra, and a no-nonsense briefing for the delegation.
This gabfest follows a period in Belgium. Tharoor and his motley crew of MPs from all political corners, representing India's diverse and inclusive democratic spirit, have just wrapped up there.
Intriguingly, they'll be rubbing shoulders with a Pakistani delegation led by Bilawal Bhutto (no relation to those Bhutto cats). But Tharoor ain't sweating it. He's pumped about pushing India's anti-terror message loud and clear.
He chatted with ANI before setting off for Washington, DC, and told 'em, “Washington is a tricky space, but if you've got a bone to pick with terrorism and care deeply about South East Asia, the right folks will listen to India. In Washington, we've got this interesting situation where the Pakistani delegation will be here too, almost on the same days... It'll make things more interesting because we've got two squabbling delegations in the same city.”
So, sit back, relax, and get ready for this diplomatic dance-off!
