India launched an unprecedented diplomatic effort, sending multi-party delegations of Members of Parliament to the world's largest cities-including the US, EU, Japan, UAE, Africa, Australia, and Southeast Asia-on a 10-day mission to mobilize global support against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.
Highlights:
Bipartisan Outreach: Delegations for the first time include MPs of ruling as well as opposition parties, such as big names like Shashi Tharoor (Congress), Salman Khurshid (Congress), Shrikant Shinde (Shiv Sena), among others. The teams will be accompanied by former diplomats and senior officials, strengthening the nation-wide unity message on security-related issues.
Strategic Destinations: The delegations will travel to the US, UK, EU, Japan, UAE, Africa, and beyond, meeting with heads of government, legislators, and senior officials to showcase India's facts and viewpoint regarding the recent Pahalgam terror attack and the follow-on Operation Sindoor.
Five-Pronged Agenda:
Outline Pakistan's provocations for the Pahalgam attack.
Rationalize Operation Sindoor as a measured and proportionate response to terror.
Assert India's right to respond forcefully against future threats.
Focus on the operation's emphasis on terror infrastructure, not civilians.
Accentuate the global risks of state-sponsored terrorism.
Countering International Narratives: The move is aimed at countering efforts by Pakistan to internationalize the Kashmir issue and react to recent international commentary, especially from the US, calling for outside mediation-something India is opposed to.
Integrated Global Messaging: The campaign emphasizes India's adherence to responsible military behavior and invites increased international cooperation against terror networks, attempting to diplomatically isolate Pakistan and solidify India's position as a victim of cross-border terrorism.
