The delegation also held discussions with members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence. During the meetings, the India-France Friendship Group reiterated their strong support for India’s efforts in combating terrorism
Prasad expressed gratitude to the Vice-Chair of the Defence and Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate colleagues for their unwavering support of India’s fight against terrorism. He emphasised the need for France, India, and the democratic world to unite in opposing terrorism originating from and supported by Pakistan
The MP further stated that the UN has designated 52 terrorists, and the line between the state of Pakistan and terrorism has disappeared, with terrorism being used as a tool of state policy within Pakistan's military-led government, which lacks democracy
The delegation also highlighted that terrorism is a global issue, not limited to India, with Pakistan-based terrorist groups and their supporters playing a major role in most cases
The Indian Embassy in France said that the members reaffirmed their strong ties and expressed united support for India's fight against terrorism
