After launching a strong military response under Operation Sindoor against Pakistan, India is now mobilizing its diplomatic machinery. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is leading one of the delegations already dispatched abroad, while another delegation led by Supriya Sule will depart today. India’s message to the world is clear: there will be zero tolerance for terrorism, and it will not succumb to nuclear blackmail. Germany’s Foreign Minister also condemned the Pahalgam attack and expressed full support for India’s right to respond. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi is questioning the Modi government’s foreign policy, demanding answers on why India is being linked with Pakistan and why other nations aren’t standing with India in condemning terrorism. He also highlighted an interview of S. Jaishankar where the timing of past communications with Pakistan raised concerns. On the ground, Rahul Gandhi is visiting victims in Poonch affected by Pakistan’s recent firing. At the same time, India is escalating water-related pressure by expediting work on the Ratle hydroelectric project in Jammu & Kashmir, which could restrict Pakistan’s water supply. Separately, an Indigo flight caused tension after nearing Pakistan’s airspace during poor weather, prompting an Indian Air Force investigation.
