Presented India's anti-terrorism message firmly in global fora: BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi
BHUBANESWAR: Bhubaneswar MP and BJP national spokesperson Aparajita Sarangi was given a rousing reception on her return to the city after a five-nation tour as part of an all-party delegation to convey India's message of zero tolerance against terrorism, on Saturday. Flanked by hundreds of supporters, Sarangi, upon her arrival said the delegation had a clear mandate from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to assert India's zero-tolerance policy on terrorism and explain the strategic shift in the country's security doctrine. 'In our interactions, we made it clear that neither we will forget the massacre of the innocents in Pahalgam by terrorists nor forgive those involved in it,' Sarangi said. The MP also said that India's strikes during Operation Sindoor were precise, measured and non-escalatory in nature. India now operates under a 'New Normal' of zero tolerance and immediate response, she said. Sarangi also dismissed Opposition's call for a special session of Parliament to discuss Operation Sindoor. 'There is no need for a special session of Parliament as the delegations that went around the world had members from all political parties,' she said. Her team had MPs from five different parties including TMC, Congress, CPM and JDU.

EAM Jaishankar embarks on week-long trip to Europe
In the first leg of his tour, Jaishankar will visit France, a country that has emerged as an all-weather friend of New Delhi. Jaishankar's visit to Europe comes a month after India launched Operation Sindoor in response to the dastardly Pahalgam terror attack and it is expected that he will apprise the European leaders about New Delhi's firm approach in dealing with cross-border terrorism. New Delhi, Jun 8 (PTI) External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Sunday embarked on a week-long visit to Europe to hold talks with leaders of France, the European Union and Belgium to boost bilateral ties and reaffirm India's policy of zero-tolerance against terrorism. 'The external affairs minister would travel to Paris and Marseille where he would be holding bilateral discussions with his counterpart minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean Noel Barrot,' the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said. Jaishankar would also participate in the inaugural edition of the Mediterranean Raisina Dialogue to be held in the city of Marseille. In Brussels, Jaishankar will hold a strategic dialogue with the EU High Representative and Vice President Kaja Kallas. 'India-European Union strategic partnership has strengthened over the years across diverse sectors and got a big boost with the first-ever visit of the EU College of Commissioners to India in February this year,' the MEA said. Jaishankar will engage also with the senior leadership from the European Commission and the European Parliament, besides interacting with think tank and media. In the third and final leg of his visit, the external affairs minister will hold wide-ranging talks with leaders of Belgium. 'India and Belgium share warm and friendly relations along with a very robust economic partnership. Today, the collaboration between the two countries spans various domains like trade and investment, green energy, technology, pharmaceutical, diamond sector and strong people-to-people ties,' the MEA said. It said Jaishankar would hold bilateral consultations with the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Belgium Maxime Prevot and would also meet the senior leadership of the country. He will also interact with the members of the Indian community. PTI MPB DV DV This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.

To shape global opinion, India needs to be architect and engineer
Fifty-nine Indian eminences are currently on a global junket, members of seven 'all party delegations' (each including several Members of Parliament, a serving or retired diplomat and a liaison officer), to elaborate on India's stand on Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and to 'rally global support' for India's counter-terrorism efforts, in the wake of Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam massacre. It is unlikely that the public will ever learn how much this exercise is costing the taxpayer, and the government will certainly declare it a famous success once it is over. Some skeptical commentators have, however, described this propaganda spree as too little too late. It is not. It is, in fact, too much too soon. The profiles of the members of these delegations do not suggest that they have been selected for their particular and exceptional knowledge of the subject at hand. Reports trickling in indicate that at least some of the activities they are engaging in would not be easy to reconcile with the gravity of their undertaking; but even where they are fully and earnestly engaged in their duties, it is evident that they have not been adequately equipped to serve the ends to which they have been tasked. By and large, the presentations they are making to other world leaders—though mostly to the second line, or lower, of leadership—are based on the present rhetorical positions of the Government of India, and add little to the body of 'evidence' that could noticeably shift perceptions. As with much of what India does, this is little more than a knee-jerk response to transient perceptions of current crises.
