Good to see our MPs working together beyond party lines for national interests! 🇮🇳 This is the spirit of democracy we need more of. Hope they can strengthen India-Brazil ties, especially in counter-terrorism cooperation.

Shashi Tharoor's diplomatic skills will surely make an impact in Brazil. But I wonder - shouldn't we focus more on our immediate neighbors first? China-Pakistan border issues need more attention than intercontinental diplomacy.

Brazil is an important BRICS partner. This visit shows India's growing global stature. Operation Sindoor needs international support - terrorism anywhere is threat to peace everywhere. Well done delegation! 👏

While I appreciate the delegation's work, I hope they also discuss trade opportunities. Brazil could be great market for our textiles and pharmaceuticals. Always think business along with security! 💼

The Pahalgam attack mention is crucial - we must keep international pressure on cross-border terrorism. But delegation should also highlight India's development story in J&K to counter false narratives abroad.
