The leader of an all-party team sent to rally support for India’s war against terror emanating from Pakistan said in New York Sunday that “no one sitting in Pakistan is going to be allowed to believe that they can just walk across the border and kill our citizens with impunity” and “there will be a price to pay” for such acts.

Underlining the need for “a new normal”, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor made these remarks at an interaction, hosted by the Consulate General of India in New York, with members of the Indian-American community and individuals from leading media and think tanks.

Tharoor reached the US with an all-party delegation comprising Sarfaraz Ahmad (JMM), Ganti Harish Madhur Balayogi (TDP), Shashank Mani Tripathi (BJP), Bhubaneswar Kalita (BJP), Milind Deora (Shiv Sena), Tejasvi Surya (BJP) and India’s former Ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu.
