BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Sunday said he will be part of a multi-party delegation visiting the US and Latin America, to present India's stand against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Surya will join Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and others on the trip, which runs from May 23 to June 6. The initiative is part of a major diplomatic outreach by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government, which has constituted seven multi-party delegations to travel to 32 countries and the European Union. Each team includes retired diplomats who will assist MPs with policy and diplomatic engagement. These delegations aim to present India's firm and unified stance against terrorism and assert its right to respond to cross-border attacks. The BJP MP said, "I will be joining Dr Shashi Tharoor in the Indian delegation of MPs to the Americas. We will take to the world, India's message against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and our demonstrated determination to put an end to it." According to Surya, Operation Sindoor signified a precise, measured and morally justified response to Pakistan-Backed Terrorism.
