United India asserts zero tolerance for terrorism
New Delhi
In a historic move, MPs from across party lines—BJP, Congress, AIMIM, DMK, BJD, Shiv Sena, and others—joined forces to represent India abroad with one clear message: zero tolerance for terrorism. Following the Pahalgam terror attack and India's military response, Operation Sindoor, the government launched an unprecedented diplomatic outreach. Between May 23 and June, 59 MPs formed seven all-party delegations that visited 32 countries to share India’s anti-terror stance.
These delegations met global leaders, think tanks, and Indian diaspora communities, delivering a unified message against terrorism. In places like Washington, Brussels, Kuwait, and the UK, MPs held high-level discussions on security cooperation and counter-terror efforts. Key voices—Shashi Tharoor, Asaduddin Owaisi, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Kanimozhi, and Nishikant Dubey—conveyed that India's fight against terror goes beyond politics.
They emphasized Pakistan’s role in cross-border terrorism and highlighted India’s peaceful intentions without third-party interference. Notably, Owaisi’s remarks on Pakistan’s radical ideologies and Azad’s point on Kashmiri unity against terror had a significant impact.
The initiative achieved five major goals: showcasing national unity, exposing terror sponsors, strengthening diplomatic ties, deepening community connections, and setting a blueprint for future global engagements. The delegations also held press conferences and symbolic events like candlelight vigils to humanize the issue.
This campaign demonstrated India’s unified stance and diplomatic leadership. As PM Modi praised the delegations, the initiative marked a turning point in India's global counter-terror strategy—where unity and resolve are its greatest strengths.
