New Delhi, Aug 2:  Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar on Saturday questioned the effectiveness of India’s global diplomatic outreach following the Pahalgam terror attack, claiming that, except for Israel, no country has explicitly held Pakistan responsible.

Referring to the ‘Operation Sindoor’ outreach, in which a host of leaders from political parties in India, including Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram, Shashi Tharoor visited several countries to present India’s case, Aiyar said the effort yielded no concrete results.

He said that despite extensive foreign visits and statements, India has failed to convince the international community that Pakistan was behind the attack. “Shashi Tharoor and his friends can roam around as much as they want, but apart from Israel, no one else said that Pakistan was behind the Pahalgam terror attack. Everyone is condemning the terrorism, but no one is willing to blame Pakistan,” Aiyar told IANS in an interview.

Citing the UN Security Council meeting held after the attack, he pointed out that the statement issued later condemned terrorism but did not name Pakistan. “In the UN Security Council meeting, the final statement condemned the terrorism, but they did not mention who was behind it — Pakistan’s name was not mentioned. No one to date has said that Pakistan is responsible,” Aiyar added.

“Only we claim that Pakistan is responsible. We are not able to present any evidence. We are not able to name the Pakistani agency which was behind the attack. The world is not accepting what India is saying. PM Modi travels a lot, but what did we get in return?” he said.
