New Delhi: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday said that seven all party delegations that travelled to 33 countries after ‘Operation Sindoor’ informed the world about Pakistan’s chequered history and it being the epicentre of terror.
In a written response to the query in Rajya Sabha about the recent All Party Parliamentary delegations, which were sent to rally global support against terrorism, post the Pahalgam terror attack, Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh said,
“The delegations were able not only to raise awareness on Pakistan’s complicity in terrorism on a global scale but also to address Pakistani propaganda on Jammu and Kashmir and Operation Sindoor. All their interlocutors unequivocally condemned the use of terrorism against India, with several of them recognising India’s right to defend itself against terrorism.”
“They briefed their interlocutors on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor and also the long history of Pakistan-sponsored terror attacks in India,” the MoS said.
He said, “Seven all-party delegations travelled to a total of 33 countries to convey India’s strong national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Each delegation comprised Members of Parliament and eminent personalities from different political parties across India, as well as veteran diplomats.”
The delegations were warmly received and held substantive discussions with important and influential interlocutors in the executive and legislative branches, media, think-tanks and Indian community, he said
