Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said India should have expressed condolences after the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, calling it the appropriate response. He stressed that condolence differs from condemnation and urged the government to act with restraint, saying it reflects strength while safeguarding national interests.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Friday said that India issuing a timely condolence on the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would have been the "most appropriate thing to do" even if the US-Israeli action was not condemned.
He also said that the government must act with restraint during times of such raging conflict, asserting that he would have advised the same to a Congress government.
Responding to whether India should have issued condolences on the killing of Iran's Khamenei, Tharoor told ANI, "I agree with the critics. The very first day of the conflict, when Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei was killed, we should have expressed our condolences. That would have been the most appropriate thing to do. It would have been the right thing to do given his role in the country."
