Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who is leading a multi-party delagaton to five countries, on Friday expressed disappointment over the Colombian government's condolence message for Pakistani casualties after India's Operation Sindoor, insisting there is no moral equivalence between terrorists and those defending their nation.
"We were a little disappointed in the reaction of the Colombian government, which apparently expressed heartfelt condolences on the loss of lives in Pakistan after the Indian strikes, rather than sympathising with the victims of terrorism. We will say " Thaoor said while addressing the media in Colombia.
"We will say to our friends in Colombia, there can be no equivalence between those who dispatch terrorists and those who resist them. There can be no equivalence between those who attack and those who defend. We are only exercising our right of self-defence, and if there is any misunderstanding here on this core, we are here to dispel any such misunderstanding. We're very happy to talk to Colombia in some detail about the circumstances," he added.
