The two delegations, which left the national capital, are led by JD-U MP Sanjay Kumar Jha and Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde. Seven all-party delegations are visiting key partner countries, including members of the UN Security Council.
The delegation led by Shinde will visit the UAE, Liberia, Congo and Sierra Leone. It includes BJP MPs Bansuri Swaraj, Atul Garg and Manan Kumar Mishra, BJD’s Sasmit Patra, IUML MP ET Mohammed Basheer, BJP leader SS Ahluwalia and former Ambassador Sujan Chinoy.
Shinde said it is a great opportunity for the whole team to put forward India’s message. “I am fortunate to lead a group going to the UAE and West Africa… I think it’s very much important to give a message to the entire world what India has been facing for many years. A message about what Pakistan is doing in all these years, how Pakistan is supporting terrorism, funding terrorism. This is a great opportunity for entire team… India and Pakistan gained independence at the same time, but India has been progressing in their economy while Pakistan has been progressing only in terrorism…”
Ahluwalia said India will give a befitting reply to the false news spread by Pakistan’s propaganda machinery. “We are going to tell the world the reality of what happened on April 22 and what has been happening even before that, because Pakistan is spreading false propaganda all over the world. We will correctly answer the false news spread by their propaganda machinery.”
The delegation led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha will visit Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. “Zero tolerance against terrorism! The first group of the All Party Delegation led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, has departed for a 5- nation visit as part of India’s diplomatic outreach on Operation Sindoor. The delegation will be visiting Indonesia, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Japan and Singapore to affirm India’s resolve on combating terrorism in all its forms,” Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a post X.
The delegation includes BJP MPs Aparajita Sarangi and Brij Lal, former union minister Salman Khurshid, TMC’s Abhishek Banerjee, CPI(M) MP John Brittas, and former Ambassador Mohan Kumar. Sanjay Jha said the purpose of the visit is to tell the whole world the truth about Pakistan’s policy of patronising terrorism and the action taken by India in response under Operation Sindoor.
“The biggest issue is that terrorism is Pakistan’s state policy. The entire delegation’s job is to reveal Pakistan’s face to the world. The whole state of Pakistan sponsors terrorism, and the terrorism thrives completely with the support of the state,” Jha told ANI.
“We want to tell this matter to the whole world, and the other thing is about the nuclear bluff. We want to convey that we will not tolerate the terrorist activities perpetrated by Pakistan. We want to convey the message that enough is enough now,” he added.
