Washington DC (US), June 06, 2025(ANI): On meeting with US Vice President JD Vance, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said, "The meeting with VP Vance was very clear. Mediation implies an equivalence between two parties and there can be no equivalence between terrorists and their victims... I think the message has been clearly understood..."

I think the message has been clearly understood..."
