India is sending seven all-party delegations to key global capitals to reinforce its zero-tolerance stance on terrorism. The delegations include prominent leaders like Shashi Tharoor, Ravi Shankar Prasad, and Kanimozhi. This marks the first time MPs from multiple parties will present India’s position on Kashmir and Pakistan-backed terror. The move follows India’s retaliatory strikes under Operation Sindoor after the Pahalgam attack.

"In moments that matter most, Bharat stands united. Seven All-Party Delegations will soon visit key partner nations, carrying our shared message of zero tolerance to terrorism. A powerful reflection of national unity above politics, beyond differences," Rijiju posted on X.

The All-Party Delegations will project India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all forms and manifestations. They would carry forth to the world the country's strong message of zero tolerance against terrorism.

Members of Parliament from different parties, prominent political personalities, and distinguished diplomats will be part of each delegation.

The tour is expected to last 10 days, commencing on May 23. The parliamentarians' groups are likely to visit several key world capitals, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Japan.

This is the first time that the Centre will depute MPs from multiple parties to present India's stance on Kashmir and cross-border terrorism originating from Pakistan.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju is leading the coordination efforts for this international tour, marking a significant step in India's diplomatic outreach.

India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. India's precision strikes in Pakistan and PoJK on May 7 killed over 100 terrorists.

This is a strong move by the government! Sending all-party delegations shows the world that India stands united against terrorism, no matter our political differences. Operation Sindoor was necessary after the Pahalgam attack. Hope these delegations can expose Pakistan's role in sponsoring terror. 🇮🇳

Good to see opposition leaders like Tharoor and Kanimozhi being part of this. Terrorism affects all Indians equally. But I hope these delegations don't just become photo-ops - they must present hard evidence of cross-border terror to the international community.

While I support the zero-tolerance policy, I'm concerned about the cost of sending seven delegations abroad. Couldn't this have been done through our embassies? The money could have been used to strengthen our border security instead. Just saying...

Finally! India is speaking with one voice on the global stage. The world needs to understand that we won't tolerate terrorism from across our borders anymore. Operation Sindoor was a strong message, now these delegations must reinforce it diplomatically. 👏

The inclusion of MPs from different parties is commendable, but I hope they're properly briefed and speak in one voice abroad. We can't afford mixed messages on such a sensitive issue. Also, why no representation from northeastern states in these delegations?

Terrorism has taken too many innocent lives in Kashmir. While military action was needed, this diplomatic push is equally important. Hope they highlight how ordinary Kashmiris suffer the most due to Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. More power to our delegates! ✊
