Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to meet members of the multi-party global outreach delegation tonight at 7 PM at his official residence, 7 Lok Kalyan Marg. The meeting comes in the wake of “Operation Sindoor,” India’s response to a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which took 26 lives on April 22.
Following this tragedy, the Indian Armed Forces initiated precision strikes on May 7 targeting terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The operation reportedly neutralized over 100 militants associated with extremist groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
In an effort to present India’s evolving counterterrorism approach to the world, seven delegations made up of 59 lawmakers and diplomats visited 33 countries, including several EU nations. These outreach efforts aimed to highlight Pakistan’s prolonged role in fostering terrorism and to assert India’s new diplomatic and military doctrine on national security.
Led by prominent political figures like Congress’s Shashi Tharoor, BJP’s Ravi Shankar Prasad and Baijayant Panda, JD(U)’s Sanjay Jha, DMK’s Kanimozhi, NCP’s Supriya Sule, and Shiv Sena’s Shrikant Shinde, the teams explained India’s rationale for Operation Sindoor to foreign governments, lawmakers, and think tanks.
Apart from exposing Pakistan’s complicity in cross-border terrorism, the delegations also emphasized the need to consider placing Pakistan back on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list. The effort was to ensure global accountability for state-sponsored terrorism.
Sources from the Parliamentary Affairs Ministry confirmed the planned discussion with PM Modi, arranged by Minister Kiren Rijiju’s office. The debriefing is expected to focus on feedback from the international community and further strategies for enhancing India’s counter-terror narrative abroad.
This outreach underscores India’s robust foreign policy push to align global consensus against terror, especially state-supported acts, and reinforces Operation Sindoor as a defining moment in India’s defense strategy.
