Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has embarked on a multi-nation tour as part of Operation Sindoor Outreach, leading an all-party delegation to five countries, the US, Panama, Guyana, Brazil, and Colombia, to spotlight India’s fight against terrorism. Speaking at Delhi Airport before departure early Saturday, Tharoor described the trip as a "mission of peace and hope," underscoring that India will not be silenced by terror.
The diverse delegation features BJP MPs Tejasvi Surya, Shashank Mani Tripathi, and Bhubaneswar Kalita, along with LJP’s Shambhavi Choudhary, TDP’s GM Harish Balayogi, Shiv Sena’s Milind Deora, JMM’s Sarfaraz Ahmad, and former ambassador Taranjit Singh Sandhu. Their first stop: New York, where they will pay tribute at the 9/11 Memorial, followed by a visit to Guyana for its Independence Day celebrations.
Tharoor stressed that the mission’s goal is to share India’s long, painful experience with terrorism on the global stage.
BJP MP Tejasvi Surya echoed Tharoor’s statement, pointing to the recent Pahalgam attack as further evidence of Pakistan-backed terror and reiterating India’s zero-tolerance stance.
