Tharoor said that the MPs share the Secretary of State Marco Rubio's view that 'terror has no place' in our countries. 'Members of the Indian MPs' delegation learned with concern about the terror attack in Boulder, Colorado today. We are relieved there was no loss of life," Thraoor's X post read.

The Indian delegations are visiting world capitals, meeting several leaders and addressing briefings, as part of India's ongoing efforts to foster international cooperation in the global fight against terrorism, particularly in the wake of 'Operation Sindoor' against Pakistan-backed terror attack in Kashmir's iconic Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists. The delegations are conveying India's strong national consensus and resolute stance in the fight against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, reaffirming the country's policy of zero tolerance towards cross-border terrorism. THE COLORADO ATTACK Eight people were injured on Sunday (local time) when a 45-year-old man yelled 'Free Palestine" and threw incendiary devices into a crowd in Boulder, where a demonstration to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza was taking place. Four women and four men between 52 and 88 years old were transported to hospitals. The suspect in the attack was named as Mohamed Soliman, who was hospitalised shortly after the incident. Other than the local police, FBI Director Kash Patel described the incident as a 'targeted terror attack," and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said it appeared to be 'a hate crime given the group that was targeted."

NCW condemns online trolling of FS Vikram Misri's daughter, urges restraint
The National Commission for Women has strongly condemned the online trolling of Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, his family, and particularly his daughter media in the wake of India and Pakistan reaching an understanding on May 10 to halt all military actions. In a statement issued by NCW Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar, the panel denounced the sharing of the young woman's personal contact details, calling it a "grossly irresponsible act" and a "serious breach of privacy" that endangers her safety. Rahatkar stressed that personal attacks on the family members of senior civil servants like Misri are not only unacceptable but also morally indefensible. Calling for restraint and respect in both online and offline spaces, the NCW urged citizens to rise above such behaviour. "Let us choose dignity and responsible conduct," Rahatkar added. The Misri family has also received support from veteran diplomat Nirupama Menon Rao and politicians Asaduddin Owaisi and Akhilesh Yadav. "It's utterly shameful to troll Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and his family over the India-Pakistan ceasefire announcement. A dedicated diplomat, Misri has served India with professionalism and resolve, and there is no ground whatsoever for his vilification. "Doxxing his daughter and abusing his loved ones crosses every line of decency. This toxic hate must stopstand united behind our diplomats, not tear them down. #StopTrollingMisri #SupportDiplomats #VikramMisri #IndianDiplomacy #NoToDoxxing," Rao had posted on X.
