In an effort to forge international unity against terrorism and isolate Pakistan and the terror-backed organizations that operate and support terrorism from its territory, India has begun its global campaign known as “Operation Sindoor Outreach,” sending its first two groups of high-level, multi-party delegations to Japan and the United Arab Emirates as part of a five-nation tour.

Shrikant Shinde, a Shiv Sena MP, is leading the second group that departed the nation’s capital on Wednesday.

Shinde’s group is scheduled to travel to the United Arab Emirates, Liberia, Congo, and Sierra Leone. BJD’s Sasmit Patra, IUML MP E.T. Mohammed Basheer, BJP leader S.S. Ahluwalia, former Ambassador Sujan Chinoy, and BJP MPs Bansuri Swaraj, Atul Garg, and Manan Kumar Mishra are among them.

Shinde stated that the squad as a whole has a fantastic opportunity to convey the message of India.

“United in the fight against terrorism. The 2nd group of All Party Delegation headed by Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Eknath Shinde has left New Delhi. The delegation will be visiting the United Arab Emirates, Congo, Sierra Leone and Liberia to carry India’s strong message of zero tolerance against terrorism and apprise about #OperationSindoor,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said late Wednesday evening in a post on X.

“Terrorism will not be tolerated at all! As part of India’s diplomatic outreach on #OperationSindoor, the first batch of the All Party Delegation, headed by JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, has left for a five-nation tour. To reaffirm India’s commitment to fighting terrorism in all of its manifestations, the delegation will go to Indonesia, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Japan, and Singapore”, MEA Spokesperson Jaiswal stated.

Between May 21 and June 5, up to seven of these delegations—which will include 59 members of parliament, former ministers, and diplomats—will be sent to 33 different nations. India’s first-ever united political front to combat global terror narratives is this initiative, which is led by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).

In his personal briefing to the delegations, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri emphasized India’s changing posture and said, “India has had to deal with cross-border terrorism for forty years. There is no room for ambiguity or appeasement in our reaction today, which reflects the new normal”.

The recent proposal from Pakistan for a joint probe into the Pahalgam terror attack was deemed “absurd” by Misri. “Asking Pakistan to co-investigate terror attacks on Indian soil is like asking the thief to investigate his own crimes,” he said.

Evidence from the recent Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror launchpads across the Line of Control (LoC), is among the sensitive intelligence dossiers carried by each squad.

In addition to protecting its borders, India is influencing international discourse by implementing Operation Sindoor, which calls for the elimination of terrorist safe havens and their enablers must be held accountable.
