Udit raj on operation sindoor: After the recent military confrontation between India and Pakistan and ‘Operation Sindoor’, the Government of India is now preparing to put its stand firm in front of the global community. In this connection, a delegation of MPs of various political parties will visit major countries of the world. Its purpose is to create an international public opinion about Pakistan -sponsored terrorism and justify India’s response on the global platform.
However, on this initiative, there is a mixed response in political circles. Congress leader Udit Raj has raised a sharp question on this plan of the government. He said that when no one is supporting India in the world, what will be achieved by sending 40 MPs abroad? He argues that India may have targeted some terrorist bases during Operation Sindoor, but the roots of terrorism are spread deep in Pakistan. According to him, everything effectively controls ISI in Pakistan and the statements of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif have no significant importance.

Congress stance and political background
However, the Congress party is supporting this effort. Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said that Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has talked to party president Mallikarjun Kharge regarding this delegation. Ramesh also said that even though Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to call a special session in Parliament or preside over the all-party meeting, the Congress has always stood in favor of national interest.
He also clarified that the Congress will be a part of this multi -party delegation as it is a serious topic like preparing national security and global public opinion. The Congress party also wants the resolution passed by Parliament on 22 February 1994, in which Pakistan -occupied Kashmir was described as an integral part of India, it should be repeated again. This proposal was unanimously passed and it remains the basis of India’s Pakistan policy.
Why need international diplomacy
The ruthless killing of 26 people in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April had shocked the entire country. In response, India destroyed many terrorist bases in Pakistan and POJK under Operation Sindoor. However, after this military retaliation, there was no expected support from the international community, which raised questions on India’s foreign policy.
In such a situation, the Government of India’s effort that it creates international public opinion through MPs, is considered a part of a new and aggressive diplomatic strategy. After neutral or vague reactions from America, Türkiye, China and Gulf countries, it has become necessary that India should keep its position clearly and effectively.
Will this strategy be effective?
The question is also whether this strategy will prove to be really effective? To influence the global public opinion, only a political delegation will be enough or at the same time India will have to take further diplomatic and economic steps? Many experts believe that India will have to present concrete evidence of their military actions, which will lead to its credibility and strengthening on the international stage. Also, it is equally important to refute the fake nectar being spread by Pakistan on technical and documentary basis.
