"We will present our views against terrorism to the world": All-party delegation led by MP Supriya Sule departs for Qatar

New Delhi [India], May 24 : A delegation led by National Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) MP Supriya Sule has departed for Qatar from New Delhi on Saturday. The delegation will visit Qatar, Egypt, Ethiopia and South Africa to convey India's unwavering resolve to combat terrorism, demonstrated during Operation Sindoor.

Speaking to media Sule said that all-party delegation will embark on a 10-day visit to four countries - Qatar, Egypt, Ethiopia, and South Africa - to present India's stance against terrorism.

"Our mission will start tomorrow, and we will present our views against terrorism to the world. We will be in Doha tomorrow, after that we will be in South Africa and Ethiopia, and then we will return via Cairo. We have a 10-day visit to four nations," she said.

Sule emphasized the gravity of the attack, saying, "The way people were killed in Pahalgam, their family members will never forget that. Those wounds will never be healed."

"The entire opposition is together. NCP SP chief Sharad Pawar said in the all-party meeting that we are with the government if it's about national interest. He also said this is not a time for the parliament session until the Operation is underway. Big leaders of Congress are going with me in this delegation. This delegation is on behalf of the government of India, and we will maintain that integrity," she added.

The delegation includes BJP's Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Anurag Singh Thakur, and V Muraleedharan; Congress' Manish Tewari and Anand Sharma; TDP's Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu; AAP's Vikramjeet Singh Sahney; and former UN ambassador Syed Akbaruddin.

This all-party delegation aims to project India's national consensus and firm stance on combating terrorism in all its forms. They will carry India's strong message of zero tolerance against terrorism to the global community during their outreach.

A total of 7 groups consisting of 8-9 members from various political parties have been selected by India to represent its stance of zero tolerance against terror and brief the representatives of other countries on Operation Sindoor.

Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed.

Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.

After the operation, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as attempted drone attacks along the border regions, following which India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres and airfields across 11 airbases in Pakistan.

On May 10, an understanding of the cessation of hostilities between the countries was announced.
