During a meeting in Moscow, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor showcased his linguistic abilities by delivering a fluent response in French, criticizing Pakistan’s role in fostering terrorism. The exchange took place on June 25, 2025, during a conversation with Russian LDPR Chairman Leonid Slutsky, focusing on a proposed anti-terrorism summit slated for early 2026. Tharoor, a seasoned diplomat, objected to Pakistan’s participation, highlighting its alleged support for terrorist organizations. The proposed summit was intended to involve parliamentary heads from India, Turkey, Russia, China, Iran, and Pakistan. Switching to French, Tharoor directly addressed Pakistan’s alleged role in training, funding, and arming terrorists. After the meeting, Tharoor’s X post detailed discussions on regional peace and potential parliamentary collaborations. The video of his French speech has rapidly gained popularity, underlining his ability to communicate effectively in multiple languages.
