Athens, May 27 (PTI) An all-party delegation led by DMK MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi arrived in Greece as part of India's diplomatic outreach to underscore its commitment to counter-terrorism.
Pictures uploaded by the embassy showed the delegation being received by India's Ambassador to Greece Rudrendra Tandon.
The delegation is one of the seven multi-party delegations India has tasked to visit 33 global capitals to reach out to the international community on Pakistan's designs and India's response to terror.
This delegation arrived here after concluding its visit to Slovenia and Russia, where it held wide-ranging discussions to brief the stakeholders on Operation Sindoor.
The group, which includes Rajiv Rai of SP, Mian Altaf Ahmad of NC, Capt Brijesh Chowta of BJP, Prem Chand Gupta of RJD, and Ambassador Jawed Ashraf, is also scheduled to travel to Latvia and Spain for the global outreach programme.
Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 lives.
India carried out precision strikes as part of Operation Sindoor on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7, following which Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9, and 10. The Indian side responded strongly to the Pakistani actions.
The on-ground hostilities ended with an understanding of stopping the military actions following talks between the directors general of military operations of both sides on May 10. PTI GRS GRS GRS

A month after Operation Sindoor's start, 2 trains send message to Pakistan
KATRA: PM Narendra Modi on Friday sought to rally people of Jammu and Kashmir against terrorism, saying Pakistan targeted the UT's tourism industry to cripple the livelihood of poor Kashmiris and accused the hostile neigbour of attacking both humanity and Kashmiriyat in Pahalgam, where terrorists had killed 25 tourists. Addressing a public gathering after flagging off two Vande Bharat trains between Katra and Srinagar, and launching other development projects, he said, "Our neighbouring country is against humanity, against harmony, against tourism... Pakistan attacked both humanity and Kashmiriyat in Pahalgam. Their intention was to incite communal riots in India..." Addressing his first public meeting in J&K after the Pahalgam massacre and Operation Sindoor , Modi said Pakistan's deliberate attack on tourists hurt local workers, including horse riders, porters, guides, guest house owners, and shopkeepers, aiming to destroy their livelihoods. "Terrorists also killed Adil, (pony ride operator) who challenged them. He too had gone there to work hard to take care of his family," Modi said. Modi said the hostile neighbour carried out brutal attacks, which the world witnessed, when it destroyed homes, bombed schools and hospitals, and shelled temples, mosques, and gurdwaras. He lauded the resilience of the people of J&K. "The youth of J&K have now made up their mind to give a befitting reply to terrorism, which burnt schools in the Valley and destroyed the future of two generations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Due to terrorism it also became a big challenge for the public to choose representatives of their choice and hold elections," he said. "The atmosphere of development which has been created in J&K is not going to halt due to the Pahalgam terror attack. If anyone tries to create an obstruction in the way of the youth fulfilling their dreams, then that obstacle will have to face Modi first," the PM said. He recalled that exactly one month ago, on the intervening night of May 6-7, India had executed Operation Sindoor, delivering a decisive blow to Pakistan-based terrorists and terror camps. "Whenever Pakistan hears the name of Operation Sindoor, it will be reminded of its humiliating defeat," he said.
