This is a strong diplomatic move by India! 👏 It's heartening to see all parties united on the terrorism issue. Our neighbors need to understand that India won't tolerate cross-border terror anymore. Hope this delegation's message reaches the right ears in Pakistan.

While I appreciate the delegation's efforts, I wonder if such visits actually change anything on ground. We've been talking about cross-border terrorism for decades but attacks still happen. Maybe we need stronger economic measures alongside diplomacy?

The inclusion of MPs from different parties shows India speaks in one voice against terrorism. This unity is our strength. However, I hope they also discuss economic cooperation - Gulf countries are important for our workers and energy security.

Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi - all have large Pakistani diaspora too. The delegation should ensure our narrative about Pak-sponsored terrorism reaches their leadership clearly. Our diplomats are doing great work but we need more such engagements.

Terrorism is a global problem, not just India's. Glad we're building international consensus. But can we also talk about protecting our workers in Gulf countries? Many face difficulties there. Both issues are important for national interest.
