Never Forget, Never Forgive: India conveys strong stance against Pak cross-border terrorism to Japan

"Pakistan has been fighting a proxy war for 40 years as it cannot have a direct war with us – Sanjay Kumar Jha"

Tokyo, May 24

The all-party delegation Indian MPs, led by Shri Sanjay Kumar Jha, engaged with Japanese dignitaries from political, governmental, and academic circles on Saturday.

The interaction, hosted by India's Ambassador to Japan, Sibi George at India House, aimed to convey India's unwavering commitment to combating terrorism.

The delegation conveyed a strong and unified national message of zero tolerance for cross-border terrorism.

In a post on X, the Indian Embassy said, "All-Party Delegation of Hon'ble Members of Parliament led by Shri Sanjay Kumar Jha interacted with dignitaries from Japan's political, governmental, and academic spheres and conveyed a strong and unified national message of zero tolerance for cross-border terrorism at a dinner hosted by Ambassador Sibi George at India House."

Earlier in the day, Jha emphasised the unity of Indian political parties in condemning terrorism and highlighted Pakistan's role in promoting proxy war against India.

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.

"Seven delegations of all-party MPs will be visiting different countries. We were the first delegation to leave India. We have been in Japan for the last 3 days. Members of the ruling and opposition parties are in the delegation. We may have political differences and contest elections against each other, but when it comes to the country, we are all together," said Jha.

He stated that Pakistan has been waging a proxy war against India for over 40 years, unable to engage in direct conflict.

"This incident (Pahalgam terror attack) is not a simple incident. Pakistan has been fighting a proxy war for the last 40 years, as it cannot have a direct war with us...India has faced the menace of terrorism for several decades. They targeted tourists after asking about their religion," added the JD (U) MP.

Sanjay Kumar Jha is leading a nine-member delegation of BJP MPs Aparajita Sarangi, Brij Lal, Pradhan Baruah, Hemang Joshi, AITC's Abhishek Banerjee, CPI (M) MP John Brittas, former MEA Salman Khurshid and Ambassador Mohan Kumar.

The delegation is currently in Japan and will head to other East Asian countries as part of India's global outreach against terrorism.

While I support our stance against terrorism, I hope such delegations also discuss economic cooperation with Japan. We need to balance security concerns with development priorities.

Good to see opposition and ruling party MPs standing together on this issue. Terrorism has no religion and affects all Indians equally. Pakistan must be held accountable internationally.

The Pahalgam attack was heartbreaking 💔 Targeting innocent tourists is the lowest form of cowardice. More countries need to call out Pakistan's terror factories. Our government is doing the right thing by taking this message globally.

I appreciate the diplomatic effort, but wish we saw more concrete action against terror sponsors. Just statements won't stop the attacks. Our armed forces need full support to respond decisively.

Japan has suffered terrorism too (remember Tokyo subway attack). They understand our pain. This is strategic diplomacy at its best - building international consensus against terror. More power to our delegation! ✊

The proxy war reference is spot on! Pakistan's army uses terrorists as their puppets while pretending to be victims themselves. Hope Japan and other nations see through this drama.
