Shashi Tharoor Hails PM Modi as 'Prime Asset' After Operation Sindoor Diplomacy Wins Over 5 Nations

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a 'prime asset for India' on the global stage following his return from a five-nation outreach tour under Operation Sindoor. In a candid column for The Hindu, Tharoor praised Modi's energy, dynamism and willingness to engage with the world and called for greater national backing. He emphasized India's strategic narrative of self-defence, which helped reverse early missteps like Colombia's condolence to Pakistan. Tharoor also recounted how even in Washington, US officials echoed India's concern over terror outfits like LeT and JeM, while a Pakistani delegation failed to change perceptions. Tharoor's endorsement signals a rare moment of unity, underscoring India's global strategy rooted in tech, trade, and tradition.

Munir, who recently returned from a trip to the US, will brief the committee on the details of his meeting with US President Donald Trump.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, in a phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, reaffirmed Pakistan's unwavering solidarity with the people and government of Iran and expressed condolences on the loss of lives.
