India Unites Against Terrorism: Multi-Party Delegation to Expose Pakistan’s Role
India is set to send a multi-party delegation to foreign nations in a move aimed at exposing Pakistan’s role in terrorism on a global stage. Government sources revealed this initiative following the recent Operation Sindoor, a military operation conducted by India against alleged terrorist hideouts in Pakistan.
According to sources, the Indian government is currently engaging with opposition parties to secure their participation in this delegation. This bipartisan approach reflects a united front against cross-border terrorism.
What Will the Delegation Focus On?
The delegation is expected to hold discussions with foreign governments, think tanks, and media outlets to present India’s perspective on the necessity of Operation Sindoor. Their five-pronged agenda will include:
- Highlighting Pakistan’s provocations that led to the operation.
- Emphasizing why Operation Sindoor was a crucial response to those threats.
- Indicating the potential for similar actions if future terrorist acts occur.
- Stressing the precise targeting of only terror hideouts during the operation.
- Underscoring Pakistan’s established role in fostering terrorism and its global repercussions.
Prioritizing a United Front
The composition of the delegation is expected to be announced soon following consultations with all stakeholders. This move aligns with previous initiatives, such as when former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao sent Atal Bihari Vajpayee to the UNHRC in 1994 to counter Pakistan’s accusations regarding human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir. Vajpayee, accompanied by Farooq Abdullah and Salman Khurshid, successfully addressed Pakistan’s resolution, leading to its withdrawal.
Delegation Details
Eight groups, each comprising 5-6 MPs, one official from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and a government representative, will travel to five countries over a 10-day period. These delegations are likely to depart India on May 22nd and return in the first week of June.
