Congress MP Shashi Tharoor today departed with an all-party parliamentary delegation to the United States as part of India’s Operation Sindoor global outreach during which a visit will also be made to Guyana.
In an ANI video clip he said that the team will be meeting with Guyana Government officials and legislators.
Ahead of his visit, Tharoor stated that the delegation is going with the motive of telling the world how India has been suffering from terrorism for many years and also delivering the message to the world that it will not be silenced by terrorism anymore, according to ABP Live News.
The Tharoor-led delegation will visit five countries: the United States, Panama, Guyana, Brazil, and Colombia. The delegation was seen at the Delhi Airport ahead of their departure to Guyana in the early hours of Saturday. The delegation will also be taking part in Guyana’s independence observances.
“We are going there to tell people about our experience, why we did what we did and what would be India’s attitude going forward in the future. We will meet people and share what we have been suffering from past so many years”, he said, according to the ABP Live News report.
Tharoor went on to slam Pakistan for orchestrating terror attacks, saying, “Since its inception, since its birth, Pakistan has orchestrated a series of terror attacks against India starting with the war of 1947. The most recent Pahalgam attack is a reminder of Pakistan’s dastardly and barbaric terror activities that they have unleashed against India. Pakistan has also given safe haven to multiple terror organisations and leaders of these terrorist groups, including Osama bin Laden. It is beyond reasonable doubt to the whole world that Pakistan today is a terror exporting state, and the world needs to take note of this.”
“It is to communicate this all important message against Pakistani terror attacks and also communicate to the world India’s message of hope and peace, and India’s message of democracy and strength,” he concluded.
In another video shared by Tharoor a few hours before embarking at the Delhi Airport, he said: “We need to speak up for our country, for our response, and to give the world the message that we will not be silenced by terrorism.”
“We don’t want the world to look away either. We don’t want indifference to triumph over the truth. It’s a mission of peace, a mission of hope,” he added.
The delegation led by Tharoor also includes BJP leaders Shashank Mani Tripathi, Bhubaneswar Kalita, and Tejasvi Surya, along with LJP (Ram Vilas)’s Shambhavi Choudhary, TDP’s GM Harish Balayogi, Shiv Sena’s Milind Deora, JMM’s Sarfaraz Ahmad, along with former Ambassador to the US, Taranjit Singh Sandhu.
