**India Warns Pakistan: “There Will Be a Price to Pay” for Cross-Border Terrorism**

**New York, NY – May 25, 2025** – A multi-party Indian parliamentary delegation, led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, is currently on a global tour to emphasize India’s unwavering stance against terrorism and highlight Pakistan’s alleged role in sponsoring such activities. The delegation’s visit follows the recent military action, dubbed “Operation Sindoor,” launched by India in response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians.

Speaking in New York on Saturday, Tharoor asserted that India’s message to Pakistan is clear: cross-border terrorism will no longer be tolerated with impunity. “There will be a price to pay, and that price has been going up systematically,” he stated, emphasizing India’s commitment to self-defense and its determination to establish a new “bottom line” regarding Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

Tharoor detailed the Pahalgam attack, where tourists were deliberately targeted based on their religion. He also referenced past attacks, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks, to underscore Pakistan’s alleged history of supporting terrorist organizations operating within India.

While maintaining that India is “not interested in warfare with Pakistan” and prefers to focus on economic development, Tharoor emphasized that India will not stand idly by while Pakistan-based groups conduct terrorist attacks on Indian soil. “You do this, you’re going to get this back,” he warned, referring to Operation Sindoor.

The delegation, which includes MPs from across the political spectrum and former Indian Ambassador to the U.S. Taranjit Sandhu, will be traveling to Guyana, Panama, Colombia, and Brazil following their U.S. visit, with the aim of garnering international support for India’s position on terrorism.
