We will expose how Pakistan has become 'Aatankistan' during Operation Sindoor outreach: BJP MP Brijlal
New Delhi [India], May 21 (ANI): BJP MP Brijlal, who is part of a nine-member parliamentary delegation participating in India's Operation Sindoor outreach, on Wednesday said the team will visit five countries--Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia--as part of efforts to highlight Pakistan's continued involvement in terrorist activities.
'We will go from Japan to Korea, then Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. There are a group of parliamentarians. There are some experts also and we will go there and expose the actions of Pakistan which has become a terrorist nation,' Brijlal said.
He said this outreach is essential because of Pakistan's repeated involvement in major terrorist attacks in India. 'This is very necessary. Because the way Pakistan has acted, it continues to carry out many big terrorist incidents in our country. But we started responding to this in 2000.'
He recalled, 'When they did it in Uri, we carried out a surgical strike. In 2019, forty CRPF soldiers were killed in Pulwama, so we launched an Air strike on Balakot. We thought Pakistan would improve but it did not, and on April 22, twenty-five of our people were brutally murdered in Pahalgam.'
Brijlal said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made it clear that terrorist sites would be destroyed. 'The Prime Minister said that we will destroy terrorist targets and we have ensured that they are decimated completely.'
He reiterated India's stand that civilians and military establishments in Pakistan were never the target. 'India had a clear stand that we do not want to attack Pakistan's army installations and their civilians. We will only attack the terrorists who cause this havoc in our country and we have done that by destroying nine bases of terrorists.'
He concluded by saying, 'By going to these countries, we will clarify our stand with the diplomats there as well as senior leaders. We will clarify India's policy and why Pakistan is a terror nation.'
In the context of 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 UN Security Council later this month.
The All-Party Delegations will project India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all forms and manifestations. They would carry forth to the world the country's strong message of zero-tolerance against terrorism. (ANI)

Parents of a 12-year-old child from Bengal who worked in Gujarat allege torture, file police complaint
Parents of a 12- year-old child who allegedly worked as a child labour at Rajkot in Gujarat have filed a police complaint against his employers at Kalna police station in West Bengal's Bardhaman district, alleging severe torture during the child's stay in Gujarat. Photos of videos of the child with severe injuries across his body have gone viral on social media. According to parents and family members of the child who is undergoing treatment at Kalna State General Hospital, they had fallen on hard times and had sent the child to Rajkot in Gujarat to work at a factory making imitation jewellery about two years ago. 'He has injuries all over his body. We got Rs 3,500 when we sent him, after that there was no money,' the mother of the child told The Hindu. According to the mother, the employer sent the child back with another person and he arrived at Howrah Station on June 1. Doctors treating the child at the State run health facility said that the condition of the child was stable. An officer at the Kalna Police Station said that the police complaint was filed on June 3, where the parents alleged that the child was tortured in Bihar. The Trinamool Cogress leadership accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of Gujarat of perpetuating child labour. 'In PM @narendramodi 's Double Engine state Gujarat, child labour is not only perpetuated but also accompanied by dehumanising treatment! .... a young child from Kalna, was forced to work in a jewellery factory in Gujarat, where he was brutally assaulted, resulting in severe injuries and lasting trauma,' the Trinamool Congress tweeted. Trinamool Congress leader Purba Bardhaman Swapan Debnath met the family of the child and expressed support to the family. The West Bengal government claims that there are no instances of child labour in the state, though children from Odisha and Bihar have been rescued from brick kilns in the State. Several teenagers from West Bengal have also been rescued from jewellery making units of Tamil Nadu where they were working as ' bonded labours'.

Bilawal Bhutto seeks dialogue with India, intel sharing to combat terrorism
The Pakistani side has suffered great losses after it attempted to target Indian defence and civil installations in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. Bhutto, who served as the Foreign Minister earlier, addressed a briefing at the UN Headquarters in New York and sought reconciliation with India, making a plea for talks and Intel sharing between the two neighbours. New York: On a day that the Indian all-party delegation led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor arrived in Washington, DC as part of the global outreach on Operation Sindoor, Pakistan's delegation led by Bilawal Bhutto was in New York to try to push its case. As per an ongoing analysis of the damage inflicted upon by the Indian Air Force on Pakistan Air Force, it is emerging that 6 PAF fighter jets, two high-value aircraft, over 10 UCAVs, one C-130 transport aircraft, along with multiple cruise missiles, were destroyed by Indian air-launched cruise missiles and surface-to-air missiles. Now Bhutto wants to go back to diplomacy and dialogue, emphasising that it was the only viable path to peace. 'Pakistan would still like to cooperate with India to combat terrorism. We can't leave the fate of 1.5 billion, 1.7 billion people in the hands of non-state actors and terrorists,' he said. 'For them to decide, at a whim, that (when these) two nuclear-armed powers will go to war.' This statement, in effect, gives credence to India's stand that terror operatives based in Pakistan had planned the Pahalgam attack that saw the killing of 26 innocent people. India has also publicly stated that any further terrorist activity would warrant similar action. But Bhutto stressed the need for a dispute resolution mechanism. You can't have no dispute resolution mechanisms between two nuclear-armed countries,' he said. Ironically, Bhutto also suggested cooperation between Pakistan and India's intelligence agencies to take on terrorism in South Asia. 'I am completely confident that if ISI and RAW were ready to sit down and work together to fight these forces, we would see a significant decrease in terrorism in both India and Pakistan,' he said. Bhutto's placatory stance shows how deeply Pakistan has been affected by the strikes carried out during Operation Sindoor and Pakistan's need to seek peace in these circumstances.
