BJP MP and Union Minister Anurag Thakur, a member of the delegation, said the group was united in delivering India's message of zero tolerance towards terrorism. 'Our delegation, comprising representatives from different political parties and ideologies, is united in delivering one clear message across the globe, that India has a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism. Trade and terror cannot go together, talks and terror cannot go hand in hand, and blood and water cannot flow together,' Thakur told ANI. He added, 'India, through 'Operation Sindoor', has established a new benchmark, a new normal. This fight against terrorism will continue with even greater intensity and stronger responses.' Thakur warned that India will respond strongly and decisively to any future terrorist attacks, targeting the perpetrators and locations involved. 'If Pakistan again takes any such step or if there is another terrorist attack on India, there will be a decisive, strong response at the right locations, and the perpetrators will be dealt with firmly. There are 52 individuals and entities based in Pakistan connected to terrorism, and the country takes no action against them,' he noted. Thakur noted that India conveyed this position across a series of meetings with Qatari officials, including the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, the Minister of State for Interior, and the Deputy Speaker of the Qatari Council, as well as with think tanks. He said the delegation urged Qatar to support India's efforts and to send a united message to the international community.,'In Qatar, we urged that they support us and stand with us in this global fight against terrorism. Together, we send a strong, united message that both Qatar and India are against terrorism.' He added, 'India's identity is multicultural, multireligious, and multiethnic. Despite our diversity, with so many languages, religions, and traditions, India stands united.' Thakur noted Qatar's positive response, stating, 'Qatar, too, acknowledged that terrorism benefits no one, and they stand with us in this fight. Together, we are sending a clear message: we are united against terrorism.' In a statement earlier on Monday, Supriya Sule said the Qatari government reiterated its commitment to the long-standing India-Qatar relationship and expressed solidarity with India's position on terrorism. The delegation, including NCP-SP MP Supriya Sule, Rajiv Pratap Rudy (BJP), Vikramjit Singh Sahney (AAP), Manish Tewari (Congress), Anurag Singh Thakur (BJP), Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu (TDP), Anand Sharma (Congress), V Muraleedharan (BJP) and former diplomat Syed Akbaruddin, will also visit Egypt, Ethiopia and South Africa. 'Qatar has assured their commitment to zero tolerance against terrorism. They have promised us that any terrorist attack anywhere in the world will be opposed, and innocent lives must be protected,' Sule said. 'This trip has been extraordinarily successful, and the Qatar government has been very hospitable,' Sule added, noting that both countries are aligned for 'decades to come.' The Indian Embassy in Doha confirmed the meetings, stating in a post on X, 'The multi-party delegation met HE Dr. Mohamed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al Khulaifi, MoS for Foreign Affairs and conveyed India's perspectives on the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Operation Sindoor, and India's national consensus for zero-tolerance against terrorism.' It added that the Qatari minister conveyed 'Qatar's solidarity with India and policy of zero tolerance against terrorism for regional stability and prosperity.' The delegation is on a multi-national mission to strengthen the global narrative against cross-border terrorism and highlight India's zero-tolerance approach. The all-party delegation, which includes MPs from the BJP, CPI-M, AITC, and other parties, will continue its outreach in other East Asian countries. This mission is one of several launched by the Modi government as part of a coordinated diplomatic campaign following Operation Sindoor to inform global partners about Pakistan's links to terrorism and India's message of zero tolerance.

He expressed full support in India's fight against terrorism and all its actions to bring the perpetrators to justice,' Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement. The statement said that PM Modi thanked Sheikh Tamim for his clear message of support and solidarity. 'Both leaders reiterated their commitment to deepen India-Qatar Strategic Partnership and to implement the decisions taken during the State Visit of the Amir earlier this year,' the statement added. According to News 18, this marks a notable shift from Qatar's earlier balanced stance on the issue. The call from the Emir is seen as especially important at a time when some Muslim-majority countries are aligning themselves with Pakistan. While the Emir also spoke with Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, it was Dar who initiated the call and provided a briefing, in contrast to India, which received a direct call from the Emir himself — highlighting the strength of the newly established India-Qatar strategic partnership, reported News 18. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Emir's message of support for India comes shortly after both nations elevated their bilateral ties to a strategic level during the Qatari leader's state visit earlier this year.
