India's Multi-Party Delegations: A Unified Stand Against Terrorism from Pakistan

Government's Initiative to Address Terrorism Concerns

New Delhi: The Indian government is set to dispatch multi-party parliamentary delegations to various nations soon, aiming to clarify India's position on terrorism emanating from Pakistan. The Congress party has confirmed its participation in these delegations.

Although there has been no formal announcement from the government regarding these delegations, Jairam Ramesh, the Congress general secretary responsible for communications, mentioned that Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has reached out to the Congress president about this initiative.

The Prime Minister has declined to lead two all-party meetings concerning the Pahalgam terror attacks and Operation Sindoor. Additionally, he has not convened a special session of Parliament, which the Indian National Congress has been advocating for, to express a unified stance and reaffirm the resolution passed unanimously by Parliament on February 22, 1994, Ramesh stated in a post on X.

Ramesh accused the Prime Minister and his party of consistently undermining the Congress, despite the latter's calls for unity and solidarity.

Now, in a surprising turn, the Prime Minister has opted to send multi-party delegations abroad to articulate India's stance on terrorism from Pakistan. The Indian National Congress prioritizes national interests and refrains from politicizing security matters, unlike the BJP. Therefore, the INC will certainly be involved in these delegations.

Operation Sindoor involved targeted strikes on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7, following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22.
