Shashi Tharoor in USA, Kanimozhi in Russia: Full list of delegations to share India's message against terrorism

Seven all-party delegations will soon visit key nations later this month, reflecting India's collective resolve against terrorism. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju shared the full list of members of the all-party delegations and details of the countries they'll be visiting.

Aim of the delegation

The Centre said on Saturday that in the context of Operation Sindoor and India's continued fight against cross-border terrorism, “seven All-Party Delegations are set to visit key partner countries, including members of the UN Security Council later this month.”

"The All-Party Delegations will project India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all forms and manifestations. They would carry forth to the world the country's strong message of zero-tolerance against terrorism," the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs said in a press release on Saturday.

Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, targeting terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) in retaliation for the deadly Pahalgam terror attack on April 22.

Under the operation, precision attacks targeted terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistan and PoK, eliminating over 100 terrorists linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.

Who are part of all-party delegations?

Each of the seven delegations includes Members of Parliament from different parties, prominent political personalities, and distinguished diplomats.
