India Launches Global Anti-Terror Diplomacy Post-Operation Sindoor
In a sweeping diplomatic initiative following the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, India has launched a global campaign to expose Pakistan’s alleged sponsorship of terrorism. The campaign, backed by the Ministry of External Affairs, involves sending multi-party delegations to major global power centers including the United States, European Union, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Africa, Southeast Asia, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
These teams are tasked with briefing lawmakers, media outlets, think tanks, and international organizations about the events leading up to and following the Pahalgam attack, and to explain India’s position and actions. The objective is to garner wider support for India’s counter-terrorism policies and diplomatically isolate Pakistan.
Multi-Party Delegations Reflect Political Unity
The delegations are notable for their multi-party composition, signaling rare political consensus in India’s foreign policy. Parliamentarians leading the initiative include Shashi Tharoor from Congress, Ravi Shankar Prasad from the BJP, Supriya Sule from NCP-SP, and Kanimozhi from DMK. Each team will include five Members of Parliament, senior diplomats, and expert non-MP participants.
The Congress party confirmed its participation while simultaneously criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allegedly skipping key security meetings. Nonetheless, Congress leaders have supported the foreign outreach as a national priority.
This cross-party representation aims to showcase that India’s stand against terrorism transcends domestic political divides and is a shared national objective.
Five-Point Agenda to Spotlight Pakistan’s Role
The Indian delegations will be guided by a structured five-point agenda designed to make India’s position unambiguous and data-backed:
- Explain Pakistan’s alleged involvement in orchestrating the Pahalgam attack.
- Justify Operation Sindoor as a proportionate and targeted military response.
- Convey India’s willingness to act again if provoked.
- Emphasize that Indian strikes were precision-targeted and avoided civilian zones.
- Expose Pakistan’s continued support for cross-border terrorism and its global security consequences.
This talking points document is being circulated to each delegation and supported by dossiers, visuals, and satellite evidence of terror infrastructure destroyed in Operation Sindoor.
Bolstering Global Counter-Terror Cooperation
India’s multi-nation initiative is not only about conveying its own grievances but also about framing terrorism as a global threat that demands collective resistance. By engaging with allies and even neutral states, India seeks to foster stronger international legal, intelligence-sharing, and diplomatic mechanisms to counter state-sponsored terrorism.
This campaign also serves as a follow-up to India’s long-standing call for a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) at the United Nations, which has remained stalled for years due to lack of consensus over state accountability.
The global anti-terror campaign post-Operation Sindoor reflects India’s strategic shift towards offensive diplomacy—leveraging military actions with calculated global narratives and bipartisan domestic support.
