West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday lauded the sending of multi-party delegations to international capitals, as part of India’s global outreach against terrorism post Operation Sindoor.
In a post on X, the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) chief said, “I am glad to see all-party delegation visiting various countries as part of India’s global outreach against terrorism.”
She also reaffirmed her support to the central government over matters of national interest while also calling for a special session of the Parliament over the matter.
“As I have consistently maintained, the AITC stands firmly behind any step the Union takes in the national interest and in defence of our sovereignty. I urge the Union Government to convene a special session of Parliament upon the safe return of the delegation, as I believe the people of this great nation have the foremost right to be informed about the recent conflict and the evolving developments - BEFORE ANYONE ELSE,” the chief minister added.
The central government's global outreach initiative follows the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. In the attack, 26 tourists - 25 Indian and one Nepali - were killed in an assault carried out by terrorists who, according to Indian authorities, came from Pakistan.
The all-party delegation projects India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will convey to the world the country's strong message of zero tolerance for terrorism.
Early on May 7, India launched precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) under Operation Sindoor. The Indian Armed Forces responded effectively to subsequent Pakistani aggression.
The two countries on May 10 reached an understanding to stop military action following a call made by Pakistan's DGMO to his Indian counterpart.
