**What did Tharoor say about the meeting between PM Modi and Trump?**
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump held a one-on-one bilateral meeting after a gap of 16 months, on the sidelines of the G-7 summit held in Biarritz, France. Talking about this, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said on Friday (June 19, 2026), “PM Modi has clearly presented India’s side to the US President in both private and public meetings. It is important to emphasize that sailors deployed on commercial ships should not be targeted in any way in a conflict-like environment.” “They are not combatants, and PM Modi has clearly told this to the US President.”
**Killing of sailors is not a solution – Tharoor**
Expressing concern over the safety of Indian sailors, Tharoor said, “Among the many concerns, many Indian sailors are deployed on Indian-flagged ships and ships of other countries. If they unknowingly violate your blockade, you should find other ways to stop them; killing them is not the right move.” This statement of Shashi Tharoor comes after the allegations by Congress Party and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi that PM Modi remained silent during the meeting with President Trump at the G-7 summit and could not openly present India’s side on important issues, which also includes the issue of the death of three Indian sailors in the American attack.
