Paris: In a resolute demonstration of India’s unwavering stance of Zero-Tolerance Policy on Terrorism , an All-Party Parliamentary Delegation led by Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad, Hon’ble Member of Parliament, is currently visiting France from May 25 to 27, 2025. The visit is a vital part of India’s international outreach under Operation Sindoor, aimed at reinforcing global awareness and cooperation against terrorism in all its forms.
Strategic Briefings and Think Tank Engagements
On May 26, the delegation was formally briefed at the Embassy of India in Paris, where they discussed India’s foreign policy direction and global messaging in response to the recent Pahalgam terror attack. The delegation also held fruitful discussions with leading Paris-based think tanks, delving into the multifaceted challenges posed by terrorism in today’s geopolitical landscape.
During these engagements, the Indian delegation strongly articulated that the terrorist attack in Pahalgam was not only an act of violence but a deliberate attempt to disrupt peace and development in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. They explained that India’s response through Operation Sindoor was precise, targeted, proportionate, and non-escalatory, reflecting both the strength and restraint of India’s counter-terrorism policy.
The delegation emphasized that modern India follows a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and does not distinguish between the perpetrators of terror and those who provide them ideological, logistical, or diplomatic support.
Engagement with Indian Diaspora
Later in the day, the All-Party Delegation met with members of the Indian community in France, who welcomed the representatives with warmth and solidarity. The delegation shared India’s unified stance against terrorism and encouraged the diaspora to continue playing their constructive role in building people-to-people ties and promoting India’s vision for global peace and security.
The Indian community members expressed complete support for India’s stand and conveyed their firm backing of the country’s efforts to raise awareness globally about the dangers of terrorism and the need for international consensus in fighting this menace.
Conclusion:
The high-level visit to France by the Indian parliamentary delegation underscores India’s proactive diplomatic strategy in countering terrorism. Through engagements with strategic thinkers and the diaspora, India has powerfully reaffirmed its zero-tolerance approach and its commitment to responsible, proportionate, and precise action in the face of threats to national security. As the visit continues, India and France are poised to deepen their cooperation on global security, peace, and counter-terrorism efforts.
