Colombia rescinds Pak backing after Shashi Tharoor's intervention
Saturday, 31 May 2025 Following India's Operation Sindoor, Colombia initially expressed solidarity with Pakistan, drawing criticism. Shashi Tharoor led a delegation to Colombia, conveying India's firm stance against terrorism after the Pahalgam attack. Consequently, Colombia withdrew its statement and affirmed support for India's position, acknowledging India's right to defend its sovereignty.
Colombia has been rocked by one of its deadliest coordinated attacks in recent years, leaving at least 17 people dead. Authorities say dissidents of the defunct FARC rebels launched two brutal strikes: a car bomb outside a military aviation school in Cali and a drone attack on a police helicopter in Antioquia. At least 12 police officers were killed in the helicopter attack, which targeted personnel eradicating coca leaf crops, the raw material for cocaine. Another five lives were lost in the car bomb blast, which also injured more than 30 people. President Gustavo Petro initially blamed the Gulf Clan drug cartel but later pointed to FARC dissidents as key perpetrators. The violence underscores Colombia’s deepening security crisis as drug cartels and rebel remnants escalate attacks. The United Nations recently reported coca cultivation reached record highs, fueling tensions across the country.

Pahalgam Terror Elimination was executed with precision and resolve as India’s security forces took down the three terrorists responsible for the brutal April 22 Pahalgam attack. Under Operation Mahadev, the Indian Army, CRPF, and Jammu & Kashmir Police eliminated Suleman, Afghani, and Jibran near Srinagar. Forensic tests, Pakistani-made arms, and direct identification confirmed their involvement. The Pahalgam Terror Elimination showcases India’s zero-tolerance stance against terrorism and the government's commitment to justice. In Amit Shah’s words, the message is clear—those who attack innocent lives on Indian soil won’t walk away. Pahalgam Terror Elimination is more than an operation—it's a declaration.

Kashmir Terror Mastermind Suleiman Shah was formerly a Pakistan Army commando turned Lashkar-e-Taiba operative, as mentioned in media reports. He has been eliminated in a high-stakes operation led by the Indian Army, CRPF and J&K Police. The Kashmir Terror Mastermind was responsible for deadly attacks across Baramulla and Pahalgam, with a ₹20 lakh bounty on his head. Operation Mahadev neutralised the Kashmir Terror Mastermind and two other high-value foreign terrorists, delivering a significant blow to cross-border terror networks operating in South Kashmir.
