India's Operation Sindoor global outreach begins today, first delegation to leave for UAE
New Delhi/IBNS: India's bid to brief the world on its anti-terrorism stand in the backdrop of Operation Sindoor is set to begin on Wednesday with the first of the seven all-party delegation leaving for the UAE, media reports said.
The delegation for the UAE will be led by Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Eknath Shinde, who will also visit Congo, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
The other members in the delegation are Bansuri Swaraj, Manan Kumar Mishra and SS Ahluwalia from the country's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP); IUML MP ET Mohammed Basheer and Ambassador Sujan Chinoy.
The government has formed seven all-delegations which will visit key partner countries including members of the UN Security Council later this month to carry the message in the context of Operation Sindoor.
The delegations will showcase India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism globally.
Each delegation comprises Members of Parliament from different parties, political personalities, and diplomats.
Operation Sindoor was a fierce military operation launched by the Indian Air Force (IAF) on May 7, in response to the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists who were enjoying their vacation at Baisaran Valley, which is referred to as India's Switzerland.
The operation aimed to dismantle terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
After the Pakistan Army again targeted Indian civilians and resorted to cross-border firing, the Indian Armed Forces retaliated, destroying defence systems of the hostile neighbour.
On Pakistan's appeal, India responded with a ceasefire on May 10 but Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned of fresh retaliation if Islamabad goes astray.
