Seoul, May 25

An all-party parliamentary delegation from India, led by Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, met with Indian Ambassador to South Korea Amit Kumar on Sunday to outline a Korea-specific approach for upcoming diplomatic engagements, emphasising India's firm stance of zero tolerance against terrorism.

The visit to Seoul follows the delegation's successful outreach in Japan and forms part of India's global diplomatic campaign aimed at highlighting the significance of Operation Sindoor and reaffirming its resolve against Pakistan-sponsored cross-border terrorism, especially in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.

"Visited the Indian Embassy in Seoul as part of an all-party delegation to discuss Operation Sindoor. We had a constructive meeting with Amit Kumar, Ambassador of India to the Republic of Korea, focusing on strengthening bilateral cooperation. Grateful for the warm hospitality and insightful exchange," Jha posted on X following the meeting.

The delegation comprises BJP MPs Aparajita Sarangi, Brij Lal and Pradan Baruah, Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, CPI(M) Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas, senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid, and Ambassador Mohan Kumar.

During their earlier visit to Japan, the parliamentarians engaged with members of the Indian diaspora and key stakeholders, underlining India's unwavering stand against terrorism.

They stressed that combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is a national priority and made a strong case for Japan's support in ensuring the perpetrators, financiers, and sponsors of the Pahalgam attack are brought to justice swiftly.

In South Korea, the delegation is expected to meet with senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, legislators from the National Assembly, as well as representatives from influential think tanks and leading media houses.

The meetings aim to build international consensus around India's anti-terrorism position and garner global support for its recent military and diplomatic efforts under Operation Sindoor.

While I appreciate the effort, I wonder how effective these delegations really are. We've seen many such initiatives before. Action speaks louder than words - we need concrete results in bringing terrorists to justice.

Good to see an all-party delegation working together on this critical issue. Terrorism affects us all regardless of political affiliation. Hope they can convince South Korea to put more pressure on Pakistan through economic means.

Operation Sindoor is making India's voice heard globally! 👏 But we must also focus on strengthening our own defenses. More investment needed in border security and intelligence gathering to prevent attacks like Pahalgam.

Interesting choice of countries - Japan and South Korea both have tense relations with China. Is India subtly building an alliance against terrorism sponsors in our neighborhood? Smart diplomatic move if true.

The Pahalgam attack was heartbreaking 💔. Glad our government isn't staying silent. But beyond diplomacy, what about rehabilitation for victims' families? That would show real commitment to fighting terror's consequences.
