"Sindoor had been wiped off the foreheads ........ We wanted to avenge that act of wiping off the Sindoor" :::::: "Kindly look at all those terrorists and terrorist organisations, are they friends of US"

 "Kindly look at all those terrorists and terrorist organisations, are they friends of the United States and what kind of poison they spread about the United States?...

Do keep in mind that these are the same terrorists who have threatened the United States in the past, and you have just witnessed terrorism here, and can do it in the future too. 

So, India is fighting the battle on behalf of the world, especially the United States, " says former Ambassador of India to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu on Washington's stance amid the India-Pakistan conflict.  

"...It's no accident that the colour of the Sindoor is that bright vermilion red, which is not far from the colour of blood. There is a Hindi expression that 'khoon ka badla khoon'; here it was 'Sindoor ka badla khoon'," says Congress MP Shashi Tharoor in an interaction at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.

He says, "Operation Sindoor was a brilliantly chosen name... We were very conscious that these brutal terrorists, who by the way shot men in front of their wives and children, but spared the women. And when the one wife screamed out Kill me too, she was told. 

No, you go back and tell them what we've done... Sindoor had been wiped off the foreheads of women in that horrendous terror attack. We wanted, first of all, to avenge that act of wiping off the Sindoor..."
