Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor expressed strong support for the Indian armed forces following a strike on terrorist camps in Pakistan, describing it as a “strong and well-planned” operation.
Our forces carried out a strong and well-planned strike on terrorist camps in Pakistan last night. “Exactly what I had advocated last week: hit hard, hit smart”, Tharoor said. “ I applaud the government and stand solidly with our armed forces”, he added.
However, Tharoor also struck a note of caution, warning against further escalation. “ At the same time we have behaved in a manner that would not justify further expansion of the conflict .
We have made our point and acted in self-defence. Time for all concerned to act wisely to prevent uncontrolled escalation”, he added.
