In a bold diplomatic push following the success of Operation Sindoor, the Indian government has constituted seven all-party delegations of Members of Parliament to represent the nation across global platforms, taking a united stand against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.
According to the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, the objective is to showcase India's unwavering commitment to fighting terrorism in all its forms, while presenting a rare show of political unity. “They would carry forth to the world the country's strong message of zero-tolerance against terrorism,” the official statement said.
Each delegation will be led by a prominent political figure, representing a diverse mix of parties. The leaders include Shashi Tharoor (Congress), Ravi Shankar Prasad (BJP), Sanjay Kumar Jha (JDU), Baijayant ‘Jay’ Panda (BJP), Kanimozhi Karunanidhi (DMK), Supriya Sule (NCP), and Shrikant Eknath Shinde (Shiv Sena).
As per ANI, around 40 MPs will participate in this diplomatic outreach. The delegations are expected to consist of 7–8 members each and will travel to 4–5 countries over a 10-day period starting May 23. The countries likely to be visited include the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Japan.
This is the first time India is deploying a multi-party group of lawmakers to convey its position on Kashmir and cross-border terrorism directly to the global community. The effort is being seen as a proactive counter to Pakistan’s narrative on the international stage.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, who is overseeing the mission, described the move as a unified response that transcends political boundaries. “In moments that matter most, Bharat stands united. Seven All-Party Delegations will soon visit key partner nations, carrying our shared message of zero tolerance for terrorism. A powerful reflection of national unity above politics, beyond differences,” Rijiju posted on social media.
While the full list of members in each group is yet to be announced, the government has made it clear that each delegation will include parliamentarians from across party lines, as well as experienced diplomats and political figures who will serve as India’s voice on the global stage.
