Shashi Tharoor condemned the terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, expressing concern but relief that no lives were lost. He stated that "terror has no place" in our countries.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who is leading an all-party delegation to world capitals to put forth India's stance against terrorism, on Monday condemned the Colorado incident, which the local police termed as a 'targeted terror attack".
In an X post, Tharoor mentioned that he and the other members of the other Indian delegations were concerned about the attack in Boulder, but were relieved that there was no loss of lives.
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.
'We all share Secy of State Marco Rubio's view that 'terror has no place" in our countries," he added.

The delegation led by Tharoor arrived at Brasilia on Sunday.
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."
