After the success of Operation Sindoor — India’s targeted military action against terror hubs in Pakistan and PoK — the Indian government is launching a major global outreach to expose Pakistan’s links with terrorism and counter its false narratives.
From May 22 to June 3, eight multi-party delegations made up of Indian MPs and senior leaders will travel across the world to share India’s position on Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. The delegations will meet political leaders, media, and influencers in countries such as the US, UK, Japan, South Korea, Oman, Egypt, and Kenya.
Top opposition leaders like Ghulam Nabi Azad, Salman Khurshid, Shashi Tharoor, Manish Tewari, Supriya Sule, Asaduddin Owaisi, and Kanimozhi will lead these delegations alongside BJP leaders such as Ravi Shankar Prasad, Anurag Thakur, and Aprajita Sarangi. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju is coordinating the outreach with political parties.
This move follows similar efforts in the past — such as after the 1994 UN Human Rights Commission resolution and the 2008 Mumbai attacks — to present a united Indian stance globally.
Congress confirmed its participation despite criticizing the government for not holding a special Parliament session after Operation Sindoor. Jairam Ramesh said Congress supports national interest above politics.
The delegations will clarify that Operation Sindoor was a strategic and limited response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which killed 26 unarmed civilians. India will stress that no civilian areas or Pakistani military targets were attacked, and the operation stayed within Indian boundaries.
The outreach also aims to support India’s push at the United Nations to ban The Resistance Front (TRF), a terror outfit linked to Pakistan.
India will convey that any future terror attacks will be considered acts of war and reiterate that the only issues it will discuss with Pakistan are the return of PoK and terrorism — and only bilaterally.
