New Delhi, June 10 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday met members of the seven multi-party delegations that recently visited over 30 countries to present India’s firm stance against terrorism post Operation Sindoor.
The Prime Minister shared the information on X, saying India is "proud of how effectively" they voiced the nation's concerns against terrorism.
"Met members of the various delegations who represented India across the world, conveying our unwavering commitment to peace and the urgent need to eliminate terrorism. We are proud of how effectively they voiced India's concerns," the Prime Minister said on X.
The delegations, gathered at the Prime Minister’s official residence of 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, shared their experiences and feedback from their global engagements. During their meetings abroad, they had emphasised India’s position of zero tolerance for terrorism, particularly drawing attention to Pakistan's continued support and use of terror networks targeting India.
Several delegations urged for Pakistan’s re-listing on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list.
Earlier too, the Centre had praised the efforts of the delegations — comprising over 50 members, mainly sitting Members of Parliament — for their role in a coordinated diplomatic outreach.
These teams also included former MPs and diplomats, who travelled to 33 global capitals and the European Union headquarters.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had earlier met the delegates, lauding their work in amplifying India's position on global platforms and highlighting the strategic necessity of counterterrorism cooperation.
Each team focused on a specific region — from North America and Europe to the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Alongside discussions on counterterrorism collaboration, the delegations also addressed issues such as misinformation campaigns and India's strategic priorities.
In a rare show of cross-party cooperation, the leadership of the delegations was shared between the ruling NDA and opposition parties. Four delegations were led by members of the ruling alliance — two from the BJP, and one each from JD(U) and Shiv Sena. The remaining three were headed by leaders from the Congress, DMK, and NCP(SP).
Prominent delegation leaders included BJP's Ravi Shankar Prasad and Baijayant Panda, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, JD(U)’s Sanjay Jha, Shiv Sena's Shrikant Shinde, DMK’s Kanimozhi, and NCP(SP)’s Supriya Sule. The presence of opposition figures such as Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi alongside ruling alliance representatives underscored a unified national front on the issue of terrorism.
The outreach followed Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7 in response to the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The Indian Armed Forces conducted precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, eliminating over 100 militants associated with Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
