Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday said that it is important to let the world know that India supports peace, however, it will take stern action against any act of terrorism. India is sending its all-party delegations to different countries in this regard, he added.
“India has always supported peace. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Operation Sindoor in response to the killing of our innocent civilians by the Pakistan-sponsored terrorists,” Rijiju told reporters.
“Delegations of India are going to various countries and will put forward India’s side. It is important to let the world know that India supports peace and will act against those who support terrorism, and the world should support the same,” he added.
Reacting to the Congress’s criticism regarding the selection of members of all-party delegations, he said that the delegates will represent not their parties but their country.
” This is not a topic of politics. These delegations are not going to represent a party but the country,” he said.
The list includes MPs from multiple parties, divided into seven groups of 8-9 members. A leader has been assigned for each group, who will lead the delegation at a global level.
This came after India’s decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, 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.
