'Job is to reveal true face of Pakistan': Sanjay Jha-led all-party delegation departs for Operation Sindoor outreach

NEW DELHI: An all-party parliamentary delegation led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha on Wednesday departed from Delhi for a multi-nation visit to Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

The delegation is part of a global outreach initiative focused on highlighting India's resolute stance against crossborder terrorism under Operation Sindoor and exposing Pakistan's role in state-sponsored terrorism.

The delegation includes ambassador Mohan Kumar, BJP MPs Pradan Baruah, Brij Lal, Aparajita Sarangi, and Hemang Joshi; TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee; CPM MP John Brittas; and JD(U)'s Sanjay Kumar Jha.


Speaking to ANI, Jha said the delegation’s mission is to "reveal the true face of Pakistan" to the global community. "Look, one of the biggest issues is that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is sending seven delegations in the world. Right now we are going and our delegation is going to Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The biggest issue is that this terrorism, which is Pakistan's state policy. It is the job of the entire delegation to reveal the face of Pakistan to the entire world. The whole state of Pakistan sponsors terrorism, and the terrorism thrives completely with the support of the state," he said.

He also took aim at Pakistan’s frequent nuclear posturing. “We want to convey clearly: India will not tolerate continued terror activities. Enough is enough,” Jha said.

Jha further raised the issue of the Indus Water Treaty, mentioning that it was signed in 1960 under the assumption of mutual cooperation between India and Pakistan, an assumption he now says no longer holds given Pakistan’s continued support for terrorism.

On the issue of national unity, Jha noted that the entire political spectrum supports Prime Minister Modi’s response to recent attacks such as the one in Pahalgam. "The country stands united. Every member of this delegation, regardless of party, will take India’s message of zero-tolerance for terrorism to the world," he said.

CPM MP Brittas said, "Our delegation is leaving for Japan. This is a public-diplomatic outreach to send across India's message that the world has to unite against terrorism."

This outreach of Operation Sindoor includes seven all-party delegations traveling to key partner countries - several of which are members of the UN Security Council - to present a united national stance against terrorism.

The delegations are being led by senior leaders including Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, BJP’s Ravi Shankar Prasad and Baijayant Panda, JD(U)'s Sanjay Kumar Jha, DMK’s Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, and NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule.

Ahead of the visits, foreign secretary Vikram Misri briefed MPs at Parliament, underlining the significance of Operation Sindoor in projecting India’s bipartisan resolve against terrorism and its commitment to international peace and security.
