All-party delegation led by Sanjay Kumar Jha arrives in Malaysia
'The delegation will meet with Malaysian Ministers, Members of Parliament, representatives of think-tanks, academia, media and Indian community to convey India's national consensus and collective resolve to combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations,' the embassy said. The Indian Embassy in Malaysia posted on X photos of the delegation being received by India's High Commissioner to Malaysia B N Reddy. Kuala Lumpur, May 31 (PTI) An all-party parliamentary delegation led by Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Kumar Jha arrived here on Saturday where it is scheduled to meet with Malaysian ministers and MPs to convey India's resolve to combat terrorism. Earlier, this delegation visited Indonesia where the chairman of a prominent Indonesian Islamic organisation on Friday condemned terrorism in all its forms and asked India and Indonesia to walk hand in hand to promote peace and economic development. Besides Jha, the delegation comprises MPs Aparajita Sarangi (BJP), Abhishek Banerjee (TMC), Brij Lal (BJP), John Brittas (CPI-M), Pradan Baruah (BJP), Hemang Joshi (BJP), former external affairs minister Salman Khurshid and former ambassador of India to France and Bahrain Mohan Kumar. 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 to emphasise Pakistan's links to terrorism. Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the Pahalgam terror attack, with India carrying out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7. 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.

All-party delegation led by Sanjay Kumar Jha meets Indian envoy in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur [Malaysia], June 1 (ANI): All-party delegation of Indian parliamentarians, led by JDU MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, was received by Indian High Commissioner to Malaysia, BN Reddy, at the High Commission in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. The High Commissioner provided the delegation with an in-depth briefing on India's ties with Malaysia. According to the official Twitter handle India in Malaysia (@hcikl), High Commissioner BN Reddy set the context for the Indian delegation's engagements in Malaysia, emphasising India's firm resolve in fighting terrorism. The delegation arrived in Malaysia after successfully completing the Indonesia leg of their outreach program under Operation Sindoor, continuing their efforts to strengthen international cooperation against Pakistan's cross-border terrorism. Earlier on Friday, while addressing the Indian diaspora in Jakarta, India reiterated its new approach in combating cross-border terrorism from Pakistan, underscoring its firm stance under Operation Sindoor. 'The new India will not just share information and data. If anything happens to the country, 'India ab andar ghus ke marega'...PM Modi said very clearly that this is the new normal. Our nation is progressing, and there is peace,' said Jha. He emphasised that terrorists' attempts to spread communal disharmony have failed, showcasing India's maturity in handling such incidents. 'The way terrorists targeted a particular community, their purpose was to spread communal disharmony in our country, but we are a mature nation. Even a small incident did not erupt...,' Jha said while addressing the diaspora. The delegation's mission is to showcase India's resolve against terrorism and garner international support for a united stand against this global threat. The Indian government's diplomatic outreach efforts aim to strengthen partnerships with countries in East and Southeast Asia, emphasising the need for a collective response to the threat of terrorism. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. Indian armed forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen. After the attack, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as attempted drone attacks along the border regions, following which India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres and airfields across 11 airbases in Pakistan. After this, on May 10, an understanding regarding the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan was announced. The delegation to Indonesia, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Japan, and Singapore is led by JD-U MP Sanjay Kumar Jha and includes Aparajita Sarangi (BJP), Abhishek Banerjee (Trinamool Congress), Brij Lal (BJP), John Brittas (CPI-M), Pradan Baruah (BJP), Hemang Joshi (BJP), Salman Khurshid and Mohan Kumar.

When terrorists hijacked Delhi-Mumbai plane and India forced Pakistan Army to do the rescue act
On September 10, 1976, an Indian Airlines plane, carrying 83 people, became the centre of an unbelievable hijacking. This scary situation didn't end in India; it ended across the border in Pakistan read more The pilots were ordered to reroute the aircraft to Libya, but there was a problem - fuel. (Source: PTI) A normal flight from Delhi to Mumbai took a shocking turn and became a major international problem in just a few hours. On September 10, 1976, a plane belonging to Indian Airlines, carrying 83 people, became the centre of an unbelievable hijacking. This scary situation didn't end in India; it ended across the border in Pakistan. The aeroplane had taken off from Delhi's main airport and was flying smoothly towards its destination, Mumbai. Everything seemed okay until six men, who were sitting in different spots on the plane, started giving each other secret signals. Suddenly, everything broke loose at the same time. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Two of the men with guns pushed their way into where the pilots were, surprising the captain, BN Reddy, and the co-pilot, RS Yadav. The other men showed their weapons and spread out through the plane. People started yelling about a 'hijack,' and everyone on board became very scared. The hijackers forced the pilots to change their route and fly to Libya. However, they didn't have enough fuel for that long trip. Captain Reddy calmly explained to the hijackers that they only had enough fuel to either go back to Delhi or land in a nearby city like Jaipur. The hijackers were still determined not to land in India, so they talked again. Captain Reddy saw a small chance and tried to reason with them. He explained that it was technically impossible to reach North Africa without the correct maps, permission from air traffic control, and, most importantly, more fuel. Finally, the hijackers changed their minds and told the pilots to fly to Karachi, in Pakistan. During this tense change of direction, the pilots managed to secretly send an emergency message to the people in charge of air traffic in Delhi. This alerted the Indian authorities about the crisis happening in the air. When the Indian Airlines plane landed in Karachi, it stayed on the ground with Pakistani officials watching it. Many hours passed without any news from the hijackers. Meanwhile, back in New Delhi, the Indian government gave a strong warning: if any of the people on the plane were hurt, Pakistan would be held responsible. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Feeling the pressure, the Pakistani military agreed to help. They came up with a rescue plan that involved tricking the hijackers and acting very carefully. The hijackers felt somewhat safe in Pakistan and became less alert. The Pakistani army offered them food and drinks, which seemed friendly but was part of the plan. The food and drinks had sedatives in them to make them fall asleep. One by one, the hijackers became unconscious. Once the plane was quiet, Pakistani soldiers quickly went onto the plane and took control. All six hijackers were arrested without anyone firing a shot. They were later identified as terrorists from Kashmir: M Ahsan Rathore, Syed Abdul Hameed Dewani, Abdul Rashid Malik, Syed M Rafiq, Khwaja Ghulam, and Ghulam Rasool. With the danger gone, the plane was allowed to return to India. On September 11, 1976, the Indian Airlines plane landed safely in Delhi, ending a 24-hour terrifying experience that the passengers would never forget. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
