In a bold move to strengthen India's fight against cross-border terrorism on the international stage, political parties across the nation are joining forces. Following Operation Sindoor, India has decided to dispatch seven all-party delegations to major countries worldwide, making a significant diplomatic statement.
The mission of these delegations is clear - convey India's 'zero tolerance' policy towards terrorism to the global community. The fact that representatives from all major political parties are involved underscores India's united stand on this critical issue.

Upon selection for the all-party delegation, members expressed their views. Shashi Tharoor wrote on 'X', 'I am honored to lead the all-party delegation to five key nations' capitals to present India's perspective on recent developments. I will not shy away when it comes to national interest and my services are needed. Jai Hind.'

Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh stated, 'We will present our stance if the dialogue on the delegation proceeds. We are included in every endeavor in the nation's interest. We stand with the country and the army, but if the government's personnel betray the country and the army, we will convey that information to the public.'
