Here’s all the latest you need to know about Shashi Tharoor’s visit to US:

6:05 am: Shashi Tharoor said, “We are determined now that there’s got to be a new bottom line to this. We have tried everything, international dossier, complaints…everything has been tried.” 

“Pakistan has remained in denial, there has been absolutely no conviction, no serious criminal prosecution, no attempt to dismantle the terror infrastructure in that country, and the persistence of safe havens…you (Pakistan) do this, you are going to get this back and we have demonstrated with this Operation (Operation Sindoor) that we can do it with a degree of precision…,” Tharoor said.

5:15 am: After paying tribute at 9/11 memorial, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said, “It was obviously a very moving moment for us, but it was also meant to send a very strong message that we are here in a city which is bearing still the scars of that savage terrorist attack in the wake of yet another terrorist attack in our own country…We came both as a reminder that this is a shared problem, but also out of a spirit of solidarity with the victims, who included Indians…it is a global problem…we must fight it unitedly.”
