"Diversity of our discourse is strength, not weakness": Manish Tewari defends Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi [India], June 11 (ANI): Congress MP Manish Tewari has come in defence of Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over the latter's 'Narendra Surrender' jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that the diversity of India's domestic discourse is 'strength, not weakness'. He said that the contesting opinions and narratives set India apart from Pakistan and other totalitarian states. He argued that people in a democracy have the right to articulate their opinions, given the freedom of speech and expression. 'The strength of our democracy is its diversity, and the contesting opinions and narratives distinguish India not only from Pakistan but from a large number of other totalitarian states. The diversity of our domestic discourse is actually a strength, not a weakness. The fact remains that in any democracy, everybody has the freedom of speech and expression, and people have the right to articulate their opinions,' Tewari told ANI. Speaking about the mission that multi-party delegations were tasked with, the Congress MP said that the delegations were able to put Pakistan in the dock of international public opinion. 'The objective of this mission was clearly to put Pakistan in the dock of international public opinion, and to that extent, the various delegations that fanned out across the world have been able to plant that seed,' Tewari asserted. Talking about his delegation's meeting with the Prime Minister, the Congress MP emphasised that it was an informal and freewheeling conversation. 'It was an informal interaction, and the members of various delegations shared their impressions with the Prime Minister, who heard everybody out. He conveyed his own impressions. On the whole, it was an informal and freewheeling conversation. Most importantly, everybody was able to share the inputs they had collected across various nations. It was a holistic and comprehensive conversation,' Tewari said. Furthermore, Manish Tewari asserted that this initiative (sending delegations abroad) would help proscribe all states that use terrorism as an instrument of state policy. 'Certain seeds have been planted by various delegations across the world. Now, it is for the foreign office to build on this initiative and to take it to the next level to proscribe Pakistan, which is a state sponsor of terror on the global stage. On the whole, the visits laid the foundation for forming an international coalition against state sponsorship of terror. This is an initiative, if taken to a logical conclusion, would definitely help in proscribing all those states which use terrorism as an instrument of state policy,' the Congress MP said. Tewari was part of a multi-party delegation led by Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) or NCP (SP) MP Supriya Sule. The delegation visited Egypt, Qatar, Ethiopia, and South Africa as part of India's Operation Sindoor global outreach. Apart from Sule and Tewari, the delegation had members including Rajiv Pratap Rudy (BJP), Vikramjit Singh Sahney (AAP, Anurag Singh Thakur (BJP), Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu (TDP), Anand Sharma (Congress), V Muraleedharan (BJP), and former diplomat Syed Akbaruddin.

We presented India's point of view that Pakistan is the epicentre of instability and terror, not only in South Asia but all over the world. Our interlocutors were very receptive because Pakistan's role in fermenting terror, using terror as an instrumental state policy, is very profoundly and exhaustively documented.' He further said that the visit provided a boost to the efforts to create a global coalition against state-sponsored terror. 'Under those circumstances, the endeavour to create a global coalition against state sponsored terror has got a very big fillip as a consequence of this visit and we do hope that Government of India would follow up on this initiative and reach out to all the interlocutors that we have spoken to and take this idea ofisolating Pakistan internationally as well as all those states which use terror as an instrument to state policy...' The all-party delegation led by Supriya Sule also includes Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Vikramjeet Singh Sahney, Manish Tewari, Anurag Singh Thakur, Lavu Sri Krishna devarayalu, Anand Sharma, former Minister of Commerce & Industry, V Muraleedharan, Former Minister of State for External Affairs, and Syed Akbaruddin, Former Permanent Representative of India to the UN.

'Litany of Pakistan's Crimes is Endless': Manish Tewari Rips Into Islamabad's 'Bloody' Track Record
/ Jun 04, 2025, 01:13PM IST Congress MP Manish Tewari, speaking from India's all-party diplomatic mission under Operation Sindoor, declared that for the first time, Pakistan's 45-year record of sponsoring terrorism against India has been exposed comprehensively to the global community. "The litany of Pakistan's crimes is endless," Tewari said, adding that the Pahalgam massacre is only the latest in a long chain of terror supported by Islamabad. He also slammed Pakistan's hypocrisy of taking US aid while sheltering Osama bin Laden. Rejecting the idea of third-party mediation, Tewari said India cannot be asked to negotiate while facing cross-border terrorism from semi-state actors.

"Litany of Pakistan's crimes is endless," says all-party delegation member Manish Tewari
Cairo [Egypt], June 4 (ANI): All-party delegation member and Congress MP Manish Tewari said on Wednesday that it is for the first time that the story of Pakistan's crimes has been told so comprehensively. Tewari, who is a part of the delegation led by NCP-SCP MP Supriya Sule, also said that India has been a victim of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism for decades now. 'The litany of Pakistan's crimes is endless, and I think for the first time, this story has been comprehensively and holistically told by our delegation to our interlocutors,' he said. He added, 'India has been successfully able to tell the story to the world that we have been victims of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism now for 45 years. It is not the unfortunate tragedy in Pahalgam alone whose fingerprints lead all the way back to Pakistan.' Tewari pointed out at Pakistan's hypocrisy that it sucked money out of the US to fund terror against the US through Osama Bin Laden. 'A state which could suck money out of the global collation against terror led by the USA and shelter, the biggest enemy of the USA (Osama bin Laden) and someone who is being hunted by the entire world, is the greatest testimony to Pakistan's doublespeak,' Tewari. Tewari added that if Pakistan continues with its military activities, India will respond and will not give in to nuclear blackmail. 'There is space for a conventional response under a nuclear overhack. If Pakistan does not stop perpetrating terror against India, there would be a punitive cost which will be imposed upon it and no longer would the paradigm of the nuclear shield or nuclear blackmail hold good or restrain India from its response,' Tewari said. He said that this time, India told the world about the seamless architecture of terror built by Pakistan. 'We have been able to tell the world that the time has come not to make a distinction between semi-state actors and the state which spawns them. This is a seamless architecture of terror. Therefore, any such distinctions are absolutely useless and non-efficacious,' he said. (ANI)
