Operation Sindoor Outreach: Third All-Party Delegation leaves for five-nation tour
New Delhi: The third group of high-level, all-party delegation led by DMK Member of Parliament Kanimozhi Karunanidhi left for a five-nation tour on Thursday as India mounted a global outreach campaign on Operation Sindoor, exposing Pakistan and the global terror outfits that operate from its soil.
The delegation will visit Russia, Slovenia, Greece, Latvia, and Spain to further India's diplomatic outreach on the issue and communicate the nation's strong resolve in combating terrorism in all its forms.
Earlier, two groups of high-level, multi-party delegations left for Japan and the United Arab Emirates as part of a five-nation tour.
The initiative aims to build international consensus against terrorism and isolate Pakistan, along with the terror-backed groups emanating from its soil that perpetuate and support terrorism.
The all-party delegation led by Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha arrived in Tokyo on Thursday to mark the beginning of India's extensive diplomatic outreach under Operation Sindoor.
The delegation includes BJP MPs Aparajita Sarangi and Brij Lal, Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, CPI(M) Rajya Sabha member John Barittas, and senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid. Following their engagements in Japan, the delegation will visit South Korea (May 24), Singapore (May 27), Indonesia (May 28), and Malaysia (May 31).
The second delegation, which also departed the national capital on Wednesday, is led by Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde. This group is currently visiting the UAE and will then travel to Liberia, Congo, and Sierra Leone. It includes BJP MPs Bansuri Swaraj, Atul Garg, and Manan Kumar Mishra, along with BJD's Sasmit Patra, IUML MP E.T. Mohammed Basheer, BJP leader S.S. Ahluwalia, and former Ambassador Sujan Chinoy.
India's Operation Sindoor Outreach seeks to highlight Pakistan's role in fostering cross-border terrorism, with a total of seven delegations, comprising 59 Members of Parliament, former ministers, and diplomats, visiting 33 countries between May 21 and June 5.

Launching the Jana Jagaran Abhijan (people's awareness campaign) at the Sankha Bhawan here, the BJD president alleged the BJP government has confined itself only to long speeches and big advertisements during the last one year. 'The BJP government has completed one year in office. They claim to be the government of the people, but who are these people? Development does not come through long speeches and big advertisements,' he said. Stating that the healthcare system has completely collapsed during the BJP rule, the former chief minister said during his tenure, 90 per cent of Odisha's population benefitted from Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana. 'The Ayushman Bharat Yojana has been launched in the state but people are not getting medicines and unable to get free treatment in hospitals,' he said. The healthcare system has turned into a mess. Out of the 30 districts, the post of chief district medical officer (CDMO) is vacant in 19 and this is said to be the success of the current government, he pointed out.

Real development not possible under Modi: TPCC chief Mahesh Kumar Goud
HYDERABAD: TPCC chief B Mahesh Kumar Goud on Tuesday said that BJP was trying to impose Manusmriti by replacing the Constitution of India. Speaking during the 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan' rally at Shadnagar, he alleged that as part of this plan, Union Home Minister Amit Shah was insulting Dr BR Ambedkar in Parliament. 'Why do we have to hit roads carrying the copies of the Constitution, which is as sacred as the Bhagavad Gita, Quran and Bible? It's because the BJP is dividing people for its political gains. We need to protect the Constitution for our safety and well-being,' he said. Goud also said that real development is not possible under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Targeting both Modi and Shah, he said: 'They are speaking with an aim to divide people. The Home Minister is supposed to integrate this country but he is disintegrating it in the name of caste and creed.'
