PM meets Op Sindoor delegates who took India’s stand against terrorism global
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday met members of the seven multi-party delegations that recently travelled to over 30 countries to highlight India’s strong stance against terrorism following Operation Sindoor.
The meeting took place at the Prime Minister’s residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg in Delhi. Delegation members, including MPs from across party lines, former parliamentarians and senior diplomats, shared their experiences of engaging with foreign leaders and representatives during their outreach.
The delegations had been sent as part of India’s diplomatic campaign to draw attention to the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s subsequent response.
Each group visited key capitals around the world to underline India’s resolve against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and reinforce the country’s commitment to global peace.
“The visit was aimed at projecting national unity and ensuring the global community hears one voice from India on terrorism,” said a government official earlier. The outreach is part of a larger effort to counter Pakistan’s attempts to internationalise the Kashmir issue while downplaying cross-border terrorism.
Over 50 individuals were part of the outreach mission, including current and former MPs and ex-diplomats.
Among the leaders who headed the delegations were BJP’s Ravi Shankar Prasad and Baijayant Panda, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, JD(U)’s Sanjay Jha, Shiv Sena’s Shrikant Shinde, DMK’s Kanimozhi, and NCP(SP)’s Supriya Sule.
The presence of leaders from the opposition as well as the ruling alliance lent the initiative a bipartisan character.
