Shashi Tharoor: After taking decisive action against terrorism, the Parliament of India has now prepared to strongly present the country's side on international forums as well. The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs has announced the names of the MPs who will go abroad and highlight India's position and the success of Operation Sindoor. The special thing is that this delegation is being led not only by the ruling party but also by the leaders of all major political parties.
Shashi Tharoor given responsibility of America
In this initiative, the biggest responsibility has been given to senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Dr. Shashi Tharoor. As India's representative, he will present the country's side in America and expose Pakistan's terrorist network. This responsibility has been entrusted to Tharoor in view of his deep grasp on foreign policy and experience on international forums.
Delegation structure and leadership
The Government of India has planned to send delegations of MPs to eight different areas. These delegations will lead in the first phase as follows:
Shashi Tharoor (Congress) – United States
Vijayant Jai Panda (BJP) – Eastern Europe
Kanimozhi (DMK) – Russia
Sanjay Jha (JDU) – South-East Asia
Ravi Shankar Prasad (BJP) – Middle East
Supriya Sule (NCP) – West Asia
Shrikant Shinde (Shiv Sena Shinde faction) – African countries
An example of unity against terror
Operation Sindoor, carried out by the Indian Army in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, received widespread support across the country. This action not only gave a strong message to Pakistan, but also highlighted the political unity of India. Now this unity will be seen on international forums as well. The objective of the government is clear – this fight is not just of any government, but of the entire nation.
MPs from all parties included
This multilateral delegation will include 43 to 45 MPs from various political parties. The prominent names included in these are:
Premchand Gupta (RJD)
Anurag Thakur (BJP)
Tejaswi Surya (BJP)
Brijlal (BJP)
Aparajita Sarangi (BJP)
Rajiv Pratap Rudy (BJP)
D Purandeshwari (BJP)
Sasmit Patra (BJD)
Manish Tewari (Congress)
Amar Singh (Congress)
Priyanka Chaturvedi (Shiv Sena Uddhav faction)
John Bits (CPI M)
Asaduddin Owaisi (AIMIM)
Objective of the mission
The main objective of each delegation will be to communicate with foreign governments, policy-makers, think tanks and the media to make it clear how Pakistan-based terrorist structures are attacking India's sovereignty. It will also be told that India's military action was neither a violation of any country's sovereignty nor an act of aggression, but was a necessary step for the safety and self-defense of its citizens.
When will the tours take place?
After May 22, these delegations will leave for their respective foreign tours. This initiative is an important step towards presenting India's political maturity, democratic unity and tough but balanced stand against terrorism to the world.
