India-Pakistan News Live updates: MP Ravi Shankar Prasad-led delegation meets Priti Patel, highlights Operation Sindoor in UK
India launched a significant diplomatic offensive through its seven multi-party parliamentary delegations visiting over 30 countries, as part of Operation Sindoor—a post-Pahalgam terror attack outreach aimed at isolating Pakistan diplomatically and strengthening global counterterrorism cooperation. Delegation visits to the UK, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and Algeria have focused on conveying India's unwavering stand against terrorism and building consensus for collective action. In London, BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad stressed Mahatma Gandhi's enduring relevance in countering Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Tributes to Gandhi and Ambedkar set a unifying tone, as MPs spoke before cheering diaspora audiences. The delegation condemned Pakistan's attempts to destabilise the region, drawing praise from British-Indian leaders and diplomats. In Spain, DMK MP Kanimozhi led dialogues with Indian communities and met a survivor of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. She called the diaspora's commitment to fighting terrorism 'heartwarming.' SP MP Rajeev Rai called Pakistan a 'puppet state,' urging stronger future responses to terror. Meanwhile, BJP's Baijayant Panda led another group to Saudi Arabia and Algeria, where cooperation on counterterrorism was a central theme. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey underscored India's historical ties with Algeria, and both countries reaffirmed strong bilateral trust. These visits not only counter Pakistan's narratives but also reinforce India's image as a responsible power combating terrorism. From engaging global policymakers to connecting with overseas Indians, the delegations are rallying international consensus for decisive action against terror networks and state sponsors.
