The delegations were sent to 32 countries and the EU to present a united Indian stance against terrorism, highlight Pakistan's alleged involvement in the attack, and seek global support for India's zero-tolerance approach to terrorism, following the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists.
The delegations comprised 51 leaders from both ruling and opposition parties, including senior MPs like Shashi Tharoor (Congress), Ravi Shankar Prasad (BJP), and Kanimozhi Karunanidhi (DMK), as well as former ambassadors. Members were selected to ensure bipartisan representation and diplomatic experience.
Operation Sindoor included targeted military strikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK), in addition to the global diplomatic campaign to garner international support and isolate Pakistan over its alleged sponsorship of terrorism.
While the outreach aimed to rally international support, global responses have been mixed. Some countries expressed solidarity with India's anti-terrorism stance, but many called for restraint and urged both India and Pakistan to de-escalate tensions, reflecting varied geopolitical interests.
