7-all-party-mps-to-visit-global-capitals-with-anti-terror-message

India is set to dispatch seven all-party delegations to key partner nations, including members of the United Nations Security Council, later this month as part of its intensified diplomatic outreach in the wake of Operation Sindoor. The move is aimed at reinforcing India’s stance on cross-border terrorism, particularly in the context of recent hostilities with Pakistan.

 

The seven-member delegations will be led by prominent parliamentarians, including Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad, JDU leader Sanjay Kumar Jha, BJP leader Baijayant Panda, DMK leader Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule, and Shiv Sena leader Shrikant Eknath Shinde.

 

Announcing the initiative, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “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 will highlight India’s national consensus on countering terrorism and underscore its resolute stance against terror in all its forms and manifestations.

The parliamentary groups are expected to visit several major capitals, including Washington, London, Abu Dhabi, Johannesburg, and Tokyo, during the 10-day tour commencing on May 23.

 

This is the first time the Indian government has decided to send a multi-party contingent of MPs to present the country’s stance on Kashmir and cross-border terrorism, particularly after the launch of Operation Sindoor on May 7.

 

India's precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) on May 7 reportedly killed over 100 terrorists, in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives.

 

The parliamentary delegations will include MPs from various parties, prominent political figures, and seasoned diplomats, reflecting a collective resolve to combat terrorism.

 

Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju is coordinating the international tour, which is seen as a significant diplomatic move aimed at rallying international support against terrorism originating from Pakistan.
