Earlier, the all-party delegation to Russia, led by Kanimozhi, held a press conference in Moscow where they shared how terrorism being spread by Pakistan is harming the world at large, and that India wants to act as an ambassador of the anti-terrorist drive of the world.

Speaking about the misinformation campaign being spread by Pakistan, DMK MP Kanimozhi said, "There is a lot of misinformation which has been spread... about the attacks which happened... We want to clarify what the truth was and what actually happened. India wants to specifically give the message that India refuses to be blackmailed by the threat of nuclear weapons. We will fight for our integrity. We will stand as one against terror attacks. So this is the message we wanted to reach to the world, and of course we've worked with Russia for many years, and we would seek the understanding of Russia and we would hope that they will be in a position to be able to support us very strongly because I think they know beyond doubt that India stands for peace."

During the event, AAP MP Ashok Kumar Mittal slammed Pakistan and said, "Whole world is suffering because of the terrorism being nurtured by Pakistan. India has also suffered very heavily... But India wants to be the ambassador of anti-terrorist drive of the world, because we know what terrorism is. We have suffered from all quarters, and we don't want that the other countries of the world should suffer. In India there is a saying, 'Vasudhev Kutumbakam', which means the entire world is one family. We believe in that. We believe in peace."

Apart from Russia, the delegation's visit spans several countries, including Slovenia, Greece, Latvia, and Spain, highlighting Operation Sindoor and India's unwavering fight against terrorism.

Proud to see our MPs representing India's stance against terrorism on global platforms. Kanimozhi ji articulated our position so well - India won't be bullied by nuclear threats! 👏 The floral tribute to Bapu in Moscow shows how his ideals remain relevant in today's geopolitics.

While I appreciate the delegation's efforts, I wish they had also highlighted China's role in sheltering terrorists at UN. Pakistan is just one part of the problem. Our foreign policy needs to be more comprehensive in addressing all security threats.

The reference to 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' was perfect! 🇮🇳 It's heartening to see MPs from different parties standing united abroad. Terrorism affects us all - whether DMK, BJP or AAP, we speak in one voice when it comes to national security. More such bipartisan delegations please!

Good initiative but hope this isn't just symbolic. Russia has been cozying up to Pakistan lately with military deals. Our diplomats need to ensure concrete outcomes from such visits. Actions speak louder than floral tributes, no matter how well-intentioned.

Seeing Mahatma Gandhi's statue in Moscow filled me with emotion! His message of peace is what makes India's anti-terror stance different from Western approaches. We fight terror but uphold human values - that's our civilizational strength. More power to our delegation! ✌️

Operation Sindoor mention is crucial - we must keep reminding the world about Pakistan's state-sponsored terrorism. But shouldn't we also focus on our northeastern borders where China-Pak nexus is active? Hope next delegation visits Vietnam or Philippines to counter Chinese influence.
