US Edition‘Major backward step’: Shashi Tharoor says ‘Trump’s post disappointing for India in four important ways’
- On May 10, 2025, following discussions reportedly facilitated by the United States, both India and Pakistan officially declared a cessation of hostilities, a development first shared publicly by US President Donald Trump through social media.
- The ceasefire was agreed upon after four days of cross-border attacks and resulted from direct discussions between the military leaders of India and Pakistan, without any involvement or mediation from the United States, contrary to claims made by President Trump.
- Indian leaders, including Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, criticized Trump's post for implying a false equivalence between India and Pakistan and for internationalizing the Kashmir issue.
- Tharoor stated the post was 'disappointing in four important ways,' describing it as a 'major backward step' that re-hyphenates the two countries and overlooks Pakistan's links to cross-border terrorism.
- The ceasefire highlights ongoing tensions and the sensitivity of Kashmir, with India reaffirming its policy against foreign mediation and considering the conflict an internal matter.
