Op Sindoor outreach: Tejasvi Surya, Sarfaraz Ahmad of Tharoor-led delegation reach Guyana

Cross-party Indian MPs in Guyana highlight Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, uniting national voices against global terror threats

"We are here on a very important mission to communicate... we have been victims of Pakistan-sponsored terror - Tejasvi Surya"

Georgetown, May 25

BJP MP Tejasvi Surya and JMM MP Sarfaraz Ahmad, members of a high-level Indian Parliamentary delegation, led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, arrived in Guyana as part of a global diplomatic outreach against terrorism.

The visit is part of a multi-nation mission that includes stops in the United States, Panama, Brazil, and Colombia.

Their arrival in Georgetown was welcomed by India’s High Commissioner to Guyana, Dr. Amit Telang.

“High Commissioner Dr. Amit Telang welcomed Hon'ble Members of Parliament, Dr. Sarfraz Ahmad and Shri Tejasvi Suryanarayana Lakya, on their arrival in Guyana as part of an All-Party Indian Parliamentary Delegation,” the High Commission of India in Georgetown posted on X.

Speaking shortly after landing, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya emphasised the mission’s urgency: “We have just landed in Georgetown in Guyana after a long 30-hour flight from India... We are here on a very important mission to communicate and amplify the message from a billion Indians that, for a very long time, we have been victims of Pakistan-sponsored terror. Thousands of civilians in India have been killed mercilessly, brutally — most recently on April 22nd by Pakistani terrorists in Pahalgam.”

JMM MP Dr. Sarfaraz Ahmad echoed the sentiment, underlining the bipartisan nature of the initiative. “We have come here for a mission. It's a multi-party, all-party delegation. After the recent attack in Pahalgam, the government convened all-party meetings led by the Defence and Home Ministers. Every Indian, across party lines, demanded action. This outreach is part of that unified stand,” he said.

The all-party delegation includes MPs Shashi Tharoor (INC), Shambhavi (LJP - Ram Vilas), Sarfaraz Ahmad (JMM), GM Harish Balayogi (TDP), Shashank Mani Tripathi (BJP), Bhubaneswar Kalita (BJP), Milind Murli Deora (Shiv Sena), and Tejasvi Surya (BJP), along with Ambassador Taranjit Singh Sandhu.

Earlier in the day, while in New York, the other members of the delegation engaged with top think tanks, academic institutions, and media outlets. They delivered India’s firm message of zero tolerance and unified national resolve against terrorism.

Good to see our leaders working together across party lines on such an important issue. Terrorism affects all Indians equally, regardless of political affiliation. Hope this delegation can make the world understand our pain and the need for global action against Pakistan's terror factories. 🇮🇳

While I appreciate the diplomatic effort, I wish our leaders would show this same unity when dealing with domestic issues too. The Pahalgam attack was heartbreaking, but we also have many internal security challenges that need bipartisan solutions. Still, good initiative overall.

This is how democracy should work! BJP, Congress, JMM all standing together for national interest. The world needs to see that when it comes to terrorism, India speaks with one voice. Kudos to the team for undertaking such a long journey to make our case heard internationally.

Hope they're also discussing economic cooperation with these countries. Guyana is becoming important in oil production, and we should strengthen ties beyond just security issues. Terrorism is important, but let's not miss other opportunities during such high-level visits.

The Pahalgam attack was indeed terrible, but I wonder if these foreign visits actually yield concrete results. We've been highlighting Pakistan's role for decades now. Maybe we need stronger actions rather than just diplomatic statements. Still, better to try than do nothing at all.
