All-Party Delegation Set to Visit Key Nations

A seven-member delegation representing various political parties is scheduled to embark on a diplomatic mission to significant partner countries, including members of the UN Security Council, later this month. This initiative is part of Operation Sindoor and India’s ongoing efforts to combat cross-border terrorism.

The delegation will be led by notable Members of Parliament, including Congress's Shashi Tharoor, BJP's Ravi Shankar Prasad, JDU's Sanjay Kumar Jha, BJP's Baijayant Panda, DMK's Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, NCP's Supriya Sule, and Shiv Sena's Shrikant Eknath Shinde.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju expressed on social media that India is united in its stance against terrorism, stating, "In moments that matter most, Bharat stands united. Seven All-Party Delegations will soon visit key partner nations, carrying our shared message of zero tolerance to terrorism. A powerful reflection of national unity above politics, beyond differences."

The delegations aim to showcase India's unified stance and firm commitment to fighting terrorism in all its forms. They will convey a strong message of zero tolerance against terrorism to the international community.

Each delegation will consist of MPs from various parties, along with prominent political figures and esteemed diplomats.

The diplomatic tour is anticipated to last for ten days, starting on May 23, and will include visits to several major capitals, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Japan.

This marks the first occasion where the Indian government will send MPs from multiple parties to articulate India's position on Kashmir and the issue of cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju is overseeing the coordination for this significant international outreach.

Operation Sindoor was initiated on May 7 in response to the tragic Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals. India's targeted strikes in Pakistan and PoJK on May 7 reportedly eliminated over 100 terrorists.
