Responding to a question related to the repeated claims made by US President donald trump about mediating the ceasefire between india and pakistan, Tharoor said, "I don't need to talk about it because I am not here to create any kind of complication in our relations with the White House." He said, "We respect the US presidency and the US President very much and I think we don't know exactly what his people said to Pakistan."

No one needs to explain us - Shashi Tharoor

Tharoor said, "No one needs to explain us, because from the very first day we had indicated that if pakistan retaliates, we will attack them even more strongly. If they stop, we will also stop. We said this from the very first day. We said the same on the last day as well. So from our point of view, there was no need to ask us to stop because we had to stop as soon as pakistan stopped." Tharoor said, "Of course, the US must have spoken to Pakistan. They must have said many things to Pakistan. We will never know what was said because it is between them and Pakistan. I cannot tell you because I am not a Pakistani and I am not an American either." The ceasefire was implemented after three days of Operation Sindoor. In response to the pahalgam terrorist attack, india carried out precision strikes on nine terrorist structures in pakistan under Operation Sindoor, after which pakistan attempted to attack indian military bases on 8, 9 and 10 May. india responded strongly to the Pakistani attacks by causing heavy damage to several key Pakistani military installations. indian Foreign Secretary vikram Misri announced on 10 May that india and pakistan had reached an agreement to stop all types of military actions in land, air and sea.
