Tejasvi Surya urges global unity against terror
Georgetown (Guyana), May 26 (UNI) Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya, a member of the Indian All-Party Parliamentary Delegation currently touring the Americas, underscored India's uncompromising stance against terrorism and called for global solidarity against state-sponsored terror during his visit to Guyana.
Addressing students at Texila American University, Surya highlighted India's zero-tolerance policy on terrorism under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He emphasised India's relentless battle against cross-border terrorism sponsored by Pakistan and urged the international community to unite in condemning state-backed terror activities.
He stated: "The world must unite in calling out state-sponsored terrorism and uphold peace. India, through decisive actions like Operation Sindoor, is at the forefront of this global effort."
Texila American University, a pivotal institution in strengthening India-Guyana ties, has hosted over 538 Indian students and 76 Indian faculty members since 2010. More than 234 Indian graduates from Texila now serve in Guyana's healthcare system.
While some members of the delegation visited the 9/11 Memorial in New York, Surya and Dr Sarfaraz Ahmad travelled directly to Guyana after a grueling 30-hour journey from India.
Following this, Surya and the delegation held talks with HE Bharrat Jagdeo, Vice President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.
Speaking after the meeting, Surya said: "Our delegation met with Vice President Jagdeo and discussed a wide range of issues, including India's fight against terrorism. Jagdeo is one of the most respected leaders of his country and showed keen interest in partnering with India on key development projects. With Guyana discovering new oil reserves and sustaining an impressive growth rate of 30 per cent, the opportunities for Indian businesses are immense. We discussed these areas of synergy and cooperation between our nations."
The delegation, led by senior MP Dr Shashi Tharoor and comprising members from multiple political parties, engaged with Vice President Jagdeo — a statesman and former President of Guyana for 12 years. Jagdeo strongly condemned the recent Pahalgam terror attack and expressed firm support for India's Operation Sindoor, aimed at dismantling terrorist networks.
The discussions also explored collaboration prospects in key sectors such as infrastructure, energy, fintech, and agriculture.
This visit is part of the Government of India's ongoing multi-country initiative to project India's steadfast position against terrorism on the global stage and to garner international support against Pakistan-sponsored terror activities.
