As a member of the all-party Indian Parliamentary Delegation led by Hon'ble MP Dr. Shrikant Shinde, I am proud to share that we have successfully concluded our four-nation tour encompassing the United Arab Emirates, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.
At each juncture, we witnessed an extraordinary outpouring of solidarity from our international partners in response to the heinous terror attack in Pahalgam. Parliaments across Africa, including in Sierra Leone and Liberia, stood in solemn silence to mourn the innocent lives lost ; an unprecedented gesture that underscores the moral clarity with which the world is now viewing terrorism emanating from across our borders.
This mission, undertaken as part of
#OperationSindoor, sought not only to express India’s unequivocal stance against terrorism but also to:
• Expose the sustained, cross-border terror infrastructure operating with impunity for over four decades
• Articulate India’s sovereign right to defend its citizens against state-sponsored barbarism
• Build a legislative and diplomatic coalition committed to combating the global menace of terrorism
Our discussions were both robust and deeply meaningful. The leadership in the UAE, along with the legislatures of DR Congo, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, extended their unequivocal support to India’s counter-terrorism initiatives.
Most significantly, this visit represented a historic bipartisan moment ; Members of Parliament from across political affiliations spoke in one voice: We are one Bharat. We are one India.
This is the New India ; assertive in diplomacy, united in purpose, and uncompromising in its commitment to justice and peace.
I extend my deepest gratitude to our hosts and fellow parliamentarians around the world who stood with India in both word and spirit.
