We appear together in spreading India's stance against terror: All-party delegation member Khurshid

Congress leader Salman Khurshid highlights India's united stance against terrorism during the all-party delegation's visit to Japan.

"We fight vigorously at home, but when it comes to India’s message on fighting terrorism, we all appear together. – Salman Khurshid"

Tokyo, May 24

Congress leader Salman Khurshid, who is a part of an all-party delegation member to Tokyo said that although political parties fight at home, they all appear together in the international platform.

Khurshid, in conversation with ANI, said that this unity of India in the face of terrorism was greatly appreciated in Japan.

"One important message that's coming across here is that we come from different political parties. We fight vigorously at home, but when it comes to India, and it comes to India's very critical message about fighting terrorism, we all appear here together. I think that's greatly appreciated and hopefully this will be so as we go from one country to another," he told ANI.

Khurshid expressed satisfaction with the response the all-party delegation received in Japan and said that there was spontaneous support for India's position on terrorism.

Khurshid told ANI, "It's been very satisfying and a great visit. We were very encouraged that there was spontaneous support for India's position on terrorism. There is a complete consensus here against any form of terrorism, and a very special condolence was conveyed for the loss that we suffered in Pahalgam."

The delegation, comprising members of both ruling and opposition parties, is engaging with the Indian community in Japan to raise awareness about the threat posed by terrorism.

Khurshid said that during meetings with the delegation, Japan was supportive of India's position on terrorism.

"We have declared a suspension of Operation Sindoor, but we have obviously given some messages for the future, and it will be important for countries like Japan to support us all the way. Japan had an open mind, supportive of our position on terrorism. We produced very cogent evidence that is available," Khurshid said.

Khurshid is part of the Sanjay Kumar Jha-led delegation, which is currently in Japan and will head to other East Asian countries as part of India's global outreach against terrorism.

The other members of the delegation are BJP MPs Aparajita Sarangi, Brij Lal, Pradhan Baruah, Hemang Joshi, CPI-M John Brittas, AITC's Abhishek Banerjee, and Ambassador Mohan Kumar.

The all-party delegation's visit to Japan demonstrates India's national consensus on combating terrorism. Despite political differences, the MPs are united in their stance against terrorism and Pakistan's role in promoting it.

This is how democracy should work - united against external threats despite internal differences. Proud to see our leaders presenting a strong front internationally. Terrorism is our common enemy, whether from Pakistan or elsewhere. 🇮🇳

Good initiative but hope this unity translates into concrete action. We've seen too many terror attacks and empty promises. Japan's support is welcome, but we need stronger global pressure on Pakistan to stop sheltering terrorists.

While I appreciate the delegation's efforts, I wish our politicians showed this same unity when dealing with domestic issues like unemployment and inflation. Terrorism is important, but so are bread-and-butter issues for common Indians.

Japan has always been a reliable partner for India. Their support against terrorism is valuable, especially when Western countries sometimes take a soft approach towards Pakistan. More such diplomatic efforts needed in ASEAN countries too!

The Pahalgam attack was heartbreaking. Glad to see our leaders taking India's pain to global platforms. Hope this leads to actual policy changes - we need to be tougher on terror financing and cross-border infiltration. No more 'dossiers', only action!

Interesting to see Khurshid representing India abroad when his party often criticizes the government's foreign policy. Shows that when it comes to national security, we stand together. More power to such bipartisan efforts! 🙏
