Operation Sindoor
Earlier, the DMK lawmaker said the government has sent MPs from various parties to different countries to present New Delhi's position on terrorism and explain the decision to engage with Russia in the context of repeated terror attacks. She called it important to reach out to Russia at a time when India has been facing terror attacks repeatedly.
“Russia has been a strategic partner, and we have always worked together on diplomatic issues, trade... It becomes very important at this point to reach out to Russia when we have been facing terror attacks time and again. We lost 26 lives in India, so the Government of India and the Prime Minister decided that MPs from across the country, from different parties, would be sent to represent the Indian stand against terrorism and explain our position to the world,” Kanimozhi told ANI.
The all-party delegation projects India’s national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will convey to the world the country’s strong message of zero tolerance for terrorism.
After completing the Russian visit, the delegation will travel to Slovenia, Greece, Latvia, and Spain.
