India’s national unity and unwavering commitment to fighting terrorism in all of its forms and manifestations would be portrayed by the all-party delegation. It will send a clear message to the rest of the world that terrorism will not be tolerated.
Operation Sindoor was started by India in reaction to the terror assault in Pahalgam.India targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) with precision strikes.Subsequent Pakistani aggression was successfully countered by the Indian Armed Forces, who also bombarded its air bases.
Earlier, as part of a five-nation tour, two sets of high-level, multi-party delegations departed for Japan and the United Arab Emirates.
The initiative seeks to isolate Pakistan and the terror-backed organizations that support and encourage terrorism that operate out of its territory in order to strengthen worldwide unity against terrorism. India’s broad diplomatic outreach under Operation Sindoor began Thursday with the arrival of an all-party delegation in Tokyo, headed by Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha.
