In an exclusive interview to NDTV's Marya Shakil, Congress MP and Chief of Parliamentary panel of foreign affairs Shashi Tharoor backed the India-Pakistan ceasefire saying that it was the right decision as a full-fledged war was not the right decision to take. Tharoor also chided those who were calling for an all-out war and calling the decision a failure saying that those comments were unfounded. Tharoor also reiterated the Congress' demand for a special session regarding the ceasefire.
