all-party-delegations-stress-global-unity-against-terrorism

All-party parliamentary delegations on Sunday reinforced India’s unified global stance against terrorism, making it clear that any future dialogue with Pakistan should focus solely on reclaiming Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

 

From Algeria to Malaysia, the multi-party delegations spoke with one voice against terrorism. New Delhi has tasked seven multi-party delegations to visit 33 global capitals to reach out to the international community on Pakistan's tactics and India's response to terror, especially in the wake of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people.

 

Malaysia -

 

Interacting with the Indian diaspora in Kuala Lumpur, Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, who is part of an all-party parliamentary delegation visiting Malaysia, said the next dialogue with Pakistan should be only on reclaiming PoK.

 

"We have been in talks with them (Pakistan) for decades, despite changes in various paradigms and governments. But one thing remains constant – the conflict with Pakistan. After what happened on 22 April, where 26 people were killed at point-blank range solely based on their religion and gender. I want the ruling dispensation to engage in dialogue with Pakistan only to discuss reclaiming Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Otherwise, these terror attacks will continue," Banerjee, who is part of the delegation led by JD(U) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, said.

Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the Pahalgam terror attack, with India carrying out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of 7 May. Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on 8, 9, and 10 May.

 

The Indian side strongly responded to the Pakistani attempts by inflicting heavy damage on a number of key Pakistani military installations, including air bases, air defence systems, command and control centres, and radar sites. India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on 10 May announced that India and Pakistan reached a ceasefire understanding.
