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.

India central to key supply chains; must be part of G7: Canadian PM
Ottawa: India is the fifth largest economy in the world and it is central to a number of critical global supply chains , Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said, arguing that the leadership of the country must be part of discussions at the upcoming G7 summit. Carney's comments came after some of his political opponents in Canada criticised him for inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 summit in view of a probe into allegations of Indian links to the killing of a Khalistani separatist in 2023. Prime Minister Modi accepted Carney's invitation to attend the G7 summit during a phone conversation on Friday. Canada is hosting the G7 summit in the Alberta province from June 15 to 17 in its capacity as the current chair of the grouping. To a specific question on the case of killing of pro-Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in 2023, Carney told reporters that it is not appropriate for him to comment as the legal process in the case is underway. The Canadian prime minister said the G7 summit will deliberate on a range of key issues including energy security, digital future, critical minerals and on partnerships in building infrastructure in the emerging and developing world. Carney suggested that he extended the invitation to Modi after talking to other G7 member countries. Live Events "There are certain countries that should be at the table for those discussions," he said when asked why PM Modi was invited when there have been allegations of Indian links to the Nijjar case. "India is the fifth largest economy in the world; effectively the most populous country in the world. (It is) central to a number of those supply chains; (it is) at the heart of a number of those supply chains, so it makes sense," he said. Without elaborating, Carney noted that India and Canada have agreed to continue law enforcement dialogue.
