This mission is part of India’s broader diplomatic outreach following Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Operation Sindoor marked a decisive military strike targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The current diplomatic initiative includes seven multi-party delegations, each led by a Member of Parliament. These delegations are touring key regions across the globe—including Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Americas—to counter misinformation and highlight India’s zero-tolerance policy on terrorism.
The campaign underscores India’s message to the world: unity at home and resolve abroad in the global fight against terrorism.
