New Delhi: In a historic move signaling national unity and unwavering resolve, the Government of India will dispatch seven All-Party Parliamentary Delegations to key global capitals and strategic partner nations, including members of the United Nations Security Council, later this month. The objective is clear and uncompromising — to carry India’s strong message of zero-tolerance toward terrorism in the wake of Operation Sindoor and renewed threats from cross-border militant networks.
These delegations, comprising Members of Parliament from across political parties, renowned public figures, and senior diplomats, will represent the national consensus on India’s approach to counterterrorism. The outreach seeks to amplify India’s voice in the international community, build pressure on state sponsors of terrorism, and strengthen cooperative global mechanisms for countering violent extremism.
Operation Sindoor and India’s Diplomatic Offensive
The diplomatic initiative comes against the backdrop of Operation Sindoor, India’s bold and swift military action to neutralize terror camps operating from across the border. The operation underscored India’s changing defense posture — proactive, precise, and unrelenting in targeting terror networks, especially those with cross-border patronage.
Now, in a strategic follow-up, the government is deploying soft power through diplomacy. The upcoming visits by All-Party Delegations aim to project this dual message:
-
India’s internal unity and political resolve against terrorism;
-
India’s call for global accountability and cooperation in dismantling terror infrastructure worldwide.
Who’s Leading the Delegations?
Seven diverse and experienced parliamentarians will head these delegations, ensuring both bipartisan credibility and regional representation. The leaders include:
-
Shri Shashi Tharoor – Indian National Congress (INC)
-
Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad – Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
-
Shri Sanjay Kumar Jha – Janata Dal (United)
-
Shri Baijayant Panda – Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
-
Smt. Kanimozhi Karunanidhi – Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)
-
Smt. Supriya Sule – Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)
-
Shri Shrikant Eknath Shinde – Shiv Sena
This cross-party lineup emphasizes India’s non-partisan commitment to fight terrorism and seek justice for victims of violent extremism. Each team will hold strategic engagements with lawmakers, security officials, think tanks, and media representatives in their destination countries.
India’s Broader Strategy: Building a Global Anti-Terror Coalition
By engaging international stakeholders directly through elected representatives, India is strengthening its diplomatic push to:
-
Urge stricter enforcement of UN sanctions on listed terror groups and individuals.
-
Advocate against the misuse of financial aid and humanitarian assistance by nations harboring or sponsoring terrorists.
-
Promote global frameworks for intelligence sharing, cyber-security collaboration, and terrorist financing crackdowns.
-
Underscore India’s democratic model and constitutional resolve against all forms of terrorism, regardless of political, ethnic, or religious justifications.
This people-centric and diplomacy-led campaign complements India’s recent statements urging international financial institutions like the IMF to withhold aid to countries misusing such funds to rebuild terror infrastructure.
Conclusion: A Message of Unity and Determination
As the world grapples with rising security threats and the resurgence of non-state actors, India is taking a decisive leadership role — not only through its defense forces but also through a united, assertive, and proactive diplomatic strategy.
These All-Party Delegations symbolize India’s internal cohesion and its external urgency. By leveraging political unity and democratic diplomacy, India is sending an unmistakable message:
The global war on terror must be fought together — with resolve, clarity, and zero compromise.
