All-party delegation led by NCP MP Supriya Sule arrives in Qatar

An all-party parliamentary delegation led by NCP-SP leader Supriya Sule arrived in Qatar late Saturday as part of the government’s outreach with the international community on the fight against terror and on the significance of Operation Sindoor.

Apart from Sule, the working president of the NCP-SP, the delegation comprises BJP leaders Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Anurag Thakur and V Muraleedharan, Congress leaders Manish Tewari and Anand Sharma, TDP leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu, AAP leader Vikramjeet Singh Sawhney, and former diplomat Syed Akbaruddin. It will also travel to South Africa, Ethiopia and Egypt.

“Taking India’s strong message against terrorism to the world! A warm welcome to the multi-party delegation led by @Supriya_sule to Qatar. Ambassador @vipulifs received the delegation. @MEAIndia,” the Indian Embassy in Doha said on X.

Meanwhile, this all-party delegation aims to project India’s national consensus and firm stance on combating terrorism in all its forms. During their outreach, they will carry India’s strong message of zero tolerance against terrorism to the global community.

India has selected 7 groups consisting of 8-9 members from various political parties to represent its stance of zero tolerance against terror and brief the representatives of other countries on Operation Sindoor.

Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed.

Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.

After the operation, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as attempted drone attacks along the border regions, following which India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres and airfields across 11 airbases in Pakistan. On May 10, an understanding of the cessation of hostilities between the countries was announced.
