Raghav Chadha backs Op Sindoor: ‘Terror and tolerance can't exist together'
Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Friday posted a video where he strongly condemned Pakistan as a terror state, saying that tolerance and diplomacy could not be exercised by India when the neighbouring nation's actions were duplicitous. During the 'Ideas for India' conference in London, the Aam Aadmi Party leader stated that though India was on the side of peace, tolerance could not coexist with terrorism.

At the 'Ideas for India Conference 2025' in London, I called out Pakistan's decades-old terror machinery. Blood and water can't flow together. Lies and loans can't go together. Diplomacy and duplicity of Pakistan can't go together. Terror and Tolerance can't exist together.' He added, 'India seeks peace — but if provoked, retribution won't be an EXCEPTION, it will be an EXPECTATION. #PakistanExposed.'

Where is the money going?...I personally feel that the money is going to funding nefarious activities and designs of the regime. So, I think it's high time that the world realises that lies and loans cannot go together, diplomacy and duplicity of Pakistan cannot go together, blood and water cannot flow together, and terror and tolerance cannot be together," he said. In the video posted on X, Raghav Chadha also backed Operation Sindoor and stated that India had proven that though they had 'extended the hand of friendship, they could also answer with the fist of retribution,' in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.

I think this has become a new normal," he said. Further, he urged India's global allies to rethink their financial aid to Pakistan, as they were funding terrorism which harmed countries like India. 'We should have a re-look the way we fund Pakistan. Why is the IMF giving bailouts to Pakistan one after another? Where is the money going?...I personally feel that the money is going to funding nefarious activities and designs of the regime,' he said.

AAP MP Raghav Chadha invited to speak at ‘Ideas for India' conference in London
New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha has been invited to speak at the prestigious 'Ideas for India' Conference 2025, to be held on May 30 at the Royal Lancaster London. Hosted by a leading UK-based think tank, Bridge India, the conference is a flagship event of India Week -- an influential global forum focused on India's economic and geopolitical journey. India Week brings together over 1,100 global changemakers, including policymakers, business leaders, investors, academics, and members of the Indian diaspora. AAP MP Raghav Chadha is slated to participate in a high-level discussion on India in a Multipolar World, where he will share his perspective on India's strategic autonomy, growing global influence, and the country's position as a bridge between the Global North and South. He will also highlight India's recent achievements in defence and diplomacy, including the success of Operation Sindoor, and the role of technology and youth-led governance in shaping India's future. On his participation at the event, Raghav Chadha said, "As global economic dynamics shift and the world adjusts to new geopolitical realities, India continues to stand out as a key driver of growth. At a time when nations are rethinking trade relationships and supply chain resilience, the UK and India have a unique opportunity to deepen their partnership in meaningful, future-oriented ways. With renewed dialogue -- particularly around the UK-India Free Trade Agreement -- feels both timely and essential. I'm looking forward to engaging with leaders across sectors at Ideas for India 2025 to explore how we can collectively shape this next chapter of India's development." Highlighting India's military power in Operation Sindoor, Chadha said, "India's recent defence advancements, exemplified by the successful execution of Operation Sindoor, have showcased the nation's growing self-reliance and technological prowess. The operation not only demonstrated India's tactical military success but also served as a powerful endorsement of its indigenous defence capabilities."
