‘Can’t sit back passively': Shashi Tharoor backs PM Modi's talks with Iran leadership

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has emphasized the need for India to take a proactive approach regarding the ongoing conflict in West Asia. In a recent statement, he supported Prime Minister Narendra Modi's engagement with Iranian leadership, asserting that India should not remain passive in the face of regional challenges. Tharoor's remarks come amid escalating tensions in the region, where diplomatic relations and strategic partnerships play a crucial role in maintaining stability. He believes that India's active involvement can contribute to peace efforts and enhance its influence on the global stage. Tharoor's views reflect a broader consensus among political leaders advocating for a more dynamic foreign policy that addresses the complexities of regional geopolitics, especially in light of India's historical ties with both Iran and its broader West Asian interests.
