India is launching a global diplomatic effort today to brief major world powers about Operation Sindoor and highlight Pakistan’s links to terrorism. Out of the seven delegations formed for this mission, two will begin their journeys today. JDU MP Sanjay Jha is heading the first team to depart. This delegation will visit Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore. It includes BJP MPs Aparajita Sarangi, Brij Lal, Hemang Joshi, and Pradan Baruah; Abhishek Banerjee from the Trinamool Congress; John Brittas from the CPM; senior Congress leader and former External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid; and former diplomat Mohan Kumar.

The next to leave will be the delegation led by Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde. This team will travel to the UAE, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone and Liberia. This delegation comprises BJP MPs Bansuri Swaraj, Atul Garg, Manan Kumar Mishra, former MP SS Ahluwalia, Indian Union Muslim League MP ET Mohammed Basheer, BJD MP Sasmit Patra and former diplomat Sujan Chinoy.

Before leaving, CPM’s John Brittas told, “We are leaving for Japan at 11.30 am today. After Japan, we will travel to South Korea. We will return on 03rd June, 2025.”

JDU’s Sanjay Jha told that terrorism is Pakistan’s state policy. “We have been suffering this for 40 years. The world’s largest democracy, India, will now expose Pakistan. The other objective is to call out its nuclear bluff. Also, the Indus Water Treaty was based on friendly cooperation between the two countries. Where is the friendship? We will put forward the Indian side,” he said. “Pakistan is linked to every act of terrorism around the world. The U.S. could not find Osama Bin Laden anywhere, but they eventually found him in Pakistan.” The country thrives on terrorism. We have to expose this.”

As part of the massive outreach, Indian delegations will travel to 33 countries and the European Union’s headquarters. They will meet current and former Prime Ministers, foreign ministers, MPs, opposition leaders, intellectuals, journalists and expat Indians in these countries.

India launched airstrikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir under Operation Sindoor to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack, in which terrorists cold-bloodedly murdered 26 innocent people. While India only targeted terror bases, Pakistan responded with drones and missiles aimed at civilian areas and military installations. India’s air defence system intercepted these drones. India then targeted Pakistani military installations before Pakistan reached out and ceasefire was announced sponsors of terrorism. We also intend to convey to the international community that we are one, irrespective of political parties, when the safety and security of 140 crore Indians is concerned.”
