In the context of Operation Sindoor and India's ongoing war against cross-border terrorism, seven All-Party Delegations will visit critical partner countries in the coming days. The Indian government has set up seven diplomatic delegations led by seven different MPs. The formation of these delegations aims to spread India's message of zero-tolerance against terrorism globally. One of the delegations will be led by Shiv Sena MP Shrikanth Shinde, the Shinde-led delegation is set to leave on May 21.
Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Rajya Sabha MP from Odisha, Sasmit Patra is also one of the members of the delegation led by Shrikanth Eknath Shinde. Patra said that the diplomatic delegation is set to leave on May 21 and will expose Pakistan's sponsored terrorism across the world.
"Our delegation is led by Shrikant Shinde...we will leave on the 21st May night, we will be back by 3rd or 4th June... The way Pakistan has become a terror hub and has exported terrorism to India and the issues we have faced because of terrorism. We will present these issues on the global platform... We will also present the reason because of why we had to conduct Operation Sindoor," the BJD leader further addressed ANI.
The multi-party delegations, consisting of seven groups led by one MP each, have been initiated to counter global misinformation and highlight India's zero-tolerance policy on terrorism.
As reported by ANI, the delegation, led by Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Eknath Shinde, will be visiting the United Arab Emirates, Liberia, Congo, and Sierra Leone. Apart from Sasmit Patra and Shrikanth Eknath Shinde, the other members of this particular delegation are Bansuri Swaraj, Atul Garg, and Manan Kumar Mishra, along with opposition members including Indian Union Muslim League MP Mohammed Basheer and Sujan Chinoy.
Operation Sindoor was initiated on May 7 to target terror bases in Pakistan as a response to the lethal Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. Over 100 terrorists affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen were neutralised during the operation, which concentrated on terror infrastructure located within Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Pakistan responded to the raids by attempting drone attacks and conducting cross-border shelling. Following the cross-border shelling, India also responded by conducting a series of coordinated airstrikes that resulted in the destruction of critical military infrastructure at 11 Pakistani airbases. However, after many days of cross-border firings and attacks, a ceasefire agreement was signed by both parties on May 10.
