‘Our purpose is to tell the world Pakistan thrives on terrorism’: JDU's Sanjay Jha on all-party delegation
The delegations are aimed at informing global allies about Pakistan's links to cross-border terrorism and India's zero tolerance policy against such acts.
JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, who is leading a delegation of parliamentarians on India's Operation Sindoor global outreach on Wednesday said that purpose of the delegation is to tell the countries across the globe that Pakistan only thrives on the terrorism.
"My delegation is going to Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The purpose of the delegation is to tell the world that Pakistan thrives on terrorism," Jha told ANI.
BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi, who is a part of a delegation of nine MPs on India's Operation Sindoor outreach said that a right kind of narrative containing facts and figures will be set globally as it is important that "Pakistan should not mislead these countries".
"As a citizen of the country, I can say that sending 7 delegations to around 33 countries by PM Modi's govt is a highly well thought out expercise, and the idea is to communicate to the international community India's stand on cross-border terrorism. The intention is to communicate to the different countries of the world that, as far as terrorism and violence are concerned, irrespective of political parties, we are all one," Sarangi said.

The Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, eliminating over 100 terrorists linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen. On May 10, both countries agreed to cease hostilities.
