Shashi Tharoor Leads Delegation to US on Sindoor Operation
The delegation's visit is part of a broader effort by the Indian government to counter Pakistan's narrative on the Kashmir issue and to project India's national consensus on combating terrorism. With representatives from various parties, the delegation aims to convey a unified message of zero-tolerance against terrorism to key partner nations and UN Security Council members.
Shashi Tharoor, a Congress MP, will lead a 10-member delegation to the US to brief on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack, as part of the Indian government's effort to counter Pakistan's narrative on the Kashmir issue. The delegation includes representatives from various parties, including the Lok Janshakti Party, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, and BJP.
The Indian government plans to send multi-party delegations abroad to brief on Pakistan's role in cross-border terrorism and Operation Sindoor, a move seen as an effort to counter Pakistan's narrative on the Kashmir issue. This initiative is likely a response to US President Donald Trump's recent statements on the issue. The delegation will depart on May 21-22 to various countries, including the US, UK, EU, Russia, Japan, South Africa, and West Asia.

The delegations will also visit UN Security Council members to carry India's strong message of zero-tolerance against terrorism. The delegation includes Taranjit Singh Sandhu, Former Ambassador of India to the USA, and Dr Varun Jeph, Director (IOR) - Liaison Officer for the delegation.
The move is seen as an effort to counter Pakistan's narrative on the Kashmir issue and to project India's national consensus on combating terrorism. The delegation's visit is expected to strengthen India's relations with key partner nations and to convey India's strong message against terrorism.
