India-Pakistan Conflict: The ties between India and Pakistan have been strained following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were gunned down. This led to not only diplomatic tensions between the two nations but also the Indian Armed Forces launching 'Operation Sindoor', which hit terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Following this, Pakistan launched drone and missile attacks on Indian territory and heightened the tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad.

In the context of the Indian armed Forces' Operation Sindoor and India's continued fight against cross-border terrorism, seven All-Party Delegations are set to visit key partner countries, including members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), later this month.
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor will lead an all-party delegation globally.
Speaking to ANI, Tharoor had earlier said that he was impressed by the codename of Operation Sindoor and added, "The operation was well-calibrated, well-calculated, and effectively executed. I am very impressed, from the naming of the operation to how it was presented to the world. We had to respond. We could not allow Pakistani terrorists to believe that they can walk into our country, kill civilians, and get away with it. They had to be punished. At the same time, an indiscriminate action on our part could have needlessly provoked an escalation and cost us the sympathy of the world."
Apart from Tharoor, six other MPs will lead the delegations.

Everyone appreciated the bravery of our armed forces. Everyone extended their support to the government and security forces. The whole nation is standing with the PM."

Earlier, NCP-SCP MP Supriya Sule, speaking to ANI about Operation Sindoor, had stated that she is very proud of the India Armed Forces.
She said, "I am very proud of the Indian army, they have done an extraordinary measured action. I appreciate the statement by the Government of India. They have clearly said that it is a very measured action, and I respect that because this fight is not against any country or any civilians, it is against terrorism."
