“In the context of Operation Sindoor and India's continued fight against cross-border terrorism, seven All-Party Delegations are set to visit key partner countries, including members of the UN Security Council later this month,” the Parliamentary Affairs Ministry said in a statement.
“The All-Party Delegations will project India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all forms and manifestations. They would carry forth to the world the country's strong message of zero-tolerance against terrorism,” it added.
The all-party delegation will present India's evidence against Pakistan and New Delhi's stance to foreign governments and institutions while travelling to various countries, claimed reports.
The delegation will be led by Minister of Parliamentary and Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju and will be divided into eight groups, consisting of six members each, as per reports citing sources.
The focus will reportedly be two-fold: To brief nations on the devastating Pahalgam attack in which 26 people were killed, and to clarify that India's 'Operation Sindoor' specifically targeted terror infrastructure — not civilians — within Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
