"The entire diaspora is with the country, our army, and the government. - Rajeev Rai"

Athens, May 29

Samajwadi Party MP Rajeev Rai, who is part of the all-party delegation led by DMK MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, said that wherever the group has gone, they have received full support from both foreign governments and the Indian community.

Rai added that people across countries, along with the Indian diaspora, stand with India, its army, and its government, and this unity is the real strength of the nation.

Speaking to ANI on Wednesday (local time), Rajeev Rai said, "Wherever we have gone, all the countries and the Indians everywhere are with us. The entire diaspora is with the country, our army, and the government, and this spirit is the strength of India... We have not only convinced the governments of different countries, but people there are also with us..."

Former Indian Ambassador to the European Union, Manjeev Singh Puri, part of the same delegation, emphasised that all civilisational nations must unite against terrorism and bring perpetrators to justice.

Puri stated that Greece has a deep understanding of terrorism and is fully aware of the role Pakistan has played in spreading it globally. "...All civilizational nations must be against terrorism, must bring terrorists to justice and must ensure that terrorism has no plan. Greece has its own understanding of terrorism, and a very strong understanding. They also know the country from which terrorism has spread all over the world, and I mean strictly. I should say Pakistan. They are well aware of it. They've been strong in telling us that they stand with us," Puri said.

The delegation, led by DMK MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, also includes Rajeev Rai (Samajwadi Party), Mian Altaf Ahmad (Jammu and Kashmir National Conference), Brijesh Chowta (BJP), Prem Chand Gupta (Rashtriya Janata Dal), Ashok Kumar Mittal (Aam Aadmi Party), and Former envoys Manjeev S Puri and Jawed Ashraf.

The delegation aims to brief international partners on India's response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and its broader fight against cross-border terrorism while engaging with leaders in Spain, Greece, Slovenia, Latvia, and Russia.

The multi-party delegation, consisting of seven groups led by one MP each, has been initiated to counter global misinformation and highlight India's zero-tolerance policy on terrorism.

This is the kind of united front we need to show the world! 🇮🇳 Whether it's SP, DMK or BJP - when it comes to terrorism, we stand as one nation. Pakistan's role in spreading terror can no longer be ignored globally. Kudos to the delegation!

While I appreciate the effort, I hope this isn't just diplomatic talk. We need concrete action from these countries - sanctions on Pakistan, extradition of terrorists, and stopping funding to terror groups. Words of support are good but not enough.

The Indian diaspora is our soft power abroad. When NRIs stand with the homeland, it makes a huge impact. But we must also address why some sections of diaspora are becoming anti-national. Need more engagement with them too.

Greece understands terrorism because they've suffered too. We need more such alliances with countries who've faced similar threats. Terrorism isn't just India's problem - it's a global menace that needs global solutions. 👏

Good initiative, but why only European countries? We should focus more on our neighbors - convince Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka to take stronger stands against terror. That's where most of our problems originate from.

The inclusion of parties across the spectrum in this delegation is commendable. Shows the world that despite our political differences, we're united against terrorism. More such bipartisan efforts needed in foreign policy matters.
