Tharoor Backs Modi Govt on Sindoor Ceasefire
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says India didn't need the US to broker a ceasefire with Pakistan.
He is responding to claims by Donald Trump that he helped stop the fighting.
Tharoor explains India's Operation Sindoor only targeted terrorists.
When Pakistan wanted to stop, India agreed.
He believes that if Washington did influence Pakistan to stop, India should be thankful, even though it wasn't requested.
Trump's claims are questioned because the details of any talks between Washington and Islamabad are unclear.
Shashi Tharoor disputes Donald Trump's claim of brokering a ceasefire.
India's Operation Sindoor targeted terror infrastructure.
Ceasefire was reached between DGMOs of India and Pakistan.
Tharoor suggests if Washington intervened, India should be grateful.
India maintains it did not request US mediation.
