The presence of leaders from both the ruling alliance and the opposition lent a bipartisan character to the initiative. The delegations were headed by prominent leaders, including Ravi Shankar Prasad and Baijayant Panda from the BJP, Shashi Tharoor from the Congress, Sanjay Jha from the JD(U), Shrikant Shinde from the Shiv Sena, Kanimozhi from the DMK, and Supriya Sule from the NCP(SP). The inclusion of MPs like Asaduddin Owaisi (AIMIM), Manish Tewari (Congress), and Prem Chand Gupta (RJD) further underscored the government's efforts to present a unified front on an issue of national importance.

MPs' Reaction After Meeting PM Modi:

On PM Modi's meeting with members of various MPs delegations, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says,"...He was certainly very pleasant to all of us. He saw this as an opportunity to thank the delegations for their service, and he was very pleasant and spent more than an hour with all of us. He walked around the lawn to different tables, talking to different groups of people. We all chatted with him in an informal way. It wasn't a formal meeting at all. It was a good, lively, informal meeting. Even those of us who had given him our reports on the trip did not present those reports. We all shared many things with him, and with time, it will be apparent. A general proposition I noticed was that every country said it was a very good idea for Members of Parliament to visit them. We all suggested that we should make this a practice more often. The PM certainly seems to take that idea onboard."

AIMIM chief and MP Asaduddin Owaisi did not attend the all-party delegation meeting with PM Modi this evening. In a phone conversation with ANI, he says, "I am out of the country. I had to go to Dubai due to a medical emergency. I had to go suddenly due to the ill health of my relative and childhood friend. I had informed my delegation leader, Baijayant Panda, about this."

The Indian teams engaged with foreign leaders and representatives, discussing counter-terrorism cooperation, strategic partnerships, and addressing concerns related to misinformation and propaganda. The outreach was aimed at projecting national unity and ensuring that the global community hears one voice from India on terrorism.

The External Affairs Ministry had earlier appreciated the teams for representing India's stance effectively in international forums. Foreign Minister S Jaishankar also held a separate interaction with the delegates, praising their role in building global awareness about the threat of terrorism emanating from Pakistan. The government's diplomatic offensive is part of a larger effort to counter Pakistan's attempts to internationalize the Kashmir issue while downplaying cross-border terrorism.

The Prime Minister's interaction with the delegates marked a significant phase in India's diplomatic offensive post-Operation Sindoor. The meeting demonstrated India's commitment to combating terrorism and its determination to engage with the global community on this critical issue. As the delegations shared their experiences and insights, it became clear that India's message of unity and resolve against terrorism resonated with nations around the world.

The diplomatic mission undertaken by the multi-party delegations is a testament to India's commitment to global peace and security. By presenting a united front against terrorism, India has sent a strong message to the international community. As the country continues to face the threat of terrorism, the global community must stand together in condemnation of this menace. India's diplomatic efforts in this regard are a significant step towards achieving this goal.
