New Delhi [India], May 17 (ANI): Amid reports that India is preparing to send an all-party delegation to various countries to expose Pakistan's support for terrorism, Janata Dal (United) leader KC Tyagi welcomed the Centre's move.
Speaking to ANI, Tyagi asserted that the Indian representatives will share the chain of events with the world that happened after the Pahalgam attack on April 22.
'The MPs from across political parties will go to different countries and will share the entire chain of events with the world that happened after the Pahalgam terror attack. It is a welcoming step,' Tyagi told ANI on Friday.
The JD(U) leader also lauded Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's statement that Operation Sindoor is not over yet.
'Rajnath Singh's statement that Operation Sindoor hasn't been finished is a welcome step. By the time terrorist acts are going on, this operation will continue. Congress party is confused, it was not a war but a strike on those who propagate and protect terrorism,' he said.
Meanwhile, India is planning a large-scale diplomatic initiative aimed at exposing Pakistan's continued support for terrorism on the global stage.
According to reliable sources, around 40 multi-party parliamentarians will form seven groups and travel to various regions of the world. The goal of this initiative is to inform the international community about Pakistan's ongoing support to terrorism and highlight India's recently launched Operation Sindoor.
The tour is expected to last 10 days, commencing on May 23. The parliamentarians' groups are likely to visit several key world capitals, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Japan.
This will be the first time that the Centre will depute MPs from multiple parties to present India's stance on Kashmir and cross-border terrorism originating from Pakistan.
While the government has not officially announced the initiative, it is understood that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and other agencies are preparing documents containing facts and instances to substantiate the allegations against Pakistan. An official from the MEA is expected to accompany the delegations.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju is leading the coordination efforts for this international tour, marking a significant step in India's diplomatic outreach.
Several opposition MPs, including Manish Tewari, Shashi Tharoor, Priyanka Chaturvedi, and Sasmit Patra, have reportedly been approached to participate in the campaign. JDU MP Sanjay Jha, former Minister of External Affairs Salman Khurshid, and BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi is also likely to participate.
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. India's precision strikes in Pakistan and PoJK on May 7 killed over 100 terrorists. (ANI)
