Algerian Parliament hosts Indian delegation led by Baijayant Panda
Algiers [Algeria], June 2 (ANI): Mohamed Khouane, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and the National Community Abroad in the Algerian Parliament, hosted a formal dinner in Algiers in honour of a visiting Group 1 of the all-party Indian parliamentary delegation. The delegation is in Algeria from May 30 to June 2 to strengthen global cooperation in counterterrorism efforts. Group 1 of the all-party delegation is being led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and senior parliamentarian Baijayant Panda and includes Nishikant Dubey (BJP), Phangnon Konyak (BJP), Rekha Sharma (BJP), Asaduddin Owaisi (AIMIM), Satnam Singh Sandhu (BJP), Ghulam Nabi Azad, and former Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla. Meanwhile, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, a member of the all-party delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda, said India's relationship with Algeria is very old. He noted that India's support for Algeria's freedom struggle remains a key pillar of bilateral goodwill. Speaking to ANI, Nishikant Dubey said, 'Our relationship with Algeria is very supported the National Liberation Front (FLN)...France had threatened us at that time. Then, the Indian government and the opposition decided to support the freedom struggle of Algeria. Algeria acknowledges it.' Before arriving in Algeria, the delegation spent two days in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where they held extensive discussions with senior government officials, policy think tanks, media representatives, and the Indian diaspora. Baijayant Jay Panda told ANI that the talks were open and candid, particularly on the challenge of terrorism. 'Saudi Arabia has a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism, like us. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Saudi Arabia following the Pahalgam attack and the joint statement by both governments made it clear that there is no tolerance for any kind of terrorism,' Panda said. The delegation aims to brief international partners on India's response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and its broader fight against cross-border terrorism while engaging with leaders in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Algeria. India has sent several all-party delegations 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.

Fear Of India Will Divide Pakistan Into Pieces: BJP's Nishikant Dubey
Senior BJP leader and Lok Sabha member Nishikant Dubey on Sunday launched a scathing attack on Pakistan, saying that there is rebellion everywhere against its army, and the fear of India will divide it into pieces. He said that Pakistan is so burdened with debt that people are suffering from hunger and thirst. "There is rebellion everywhere against the Pakistani army, which is following the tradition of bullets in exchange for bread," Dubey said. "Pakistan sees its country being divided into pieces, so it is calling the fight for bread in Balochistan a fight against Islam, and is calling the citizens of its country agents of India. This fear of India will divide Pakistan into pieces," he wrote on his X handle in Hindi (loosely translated). Dubey, in his post on X, also shared an official letter from the Pakistan government's Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control. The letter is dated May 31, 2025, with the subject: "Reference to terrorist organisations in official correspondence and documents" written on it. Pakistan has alleged that the unrest in Balochistan is happening "at the behest of India" and this is "detrimental to Islamic faith and sovereignty of Pakistan". The people in Balochistan have been fighting for their rights, resources and dignity to live for the past several decades. The Baloch people, who are a unique ethno-linguistic group, have been the victims of marginalisation and subjugation in Pakistan. Despite being one of the largest Pakistani provinces, this region remains relatively underdeveloped and least populated. The region has abundant natural resources, which are being exploited by the Pakistani Army and other government bodies without giving any benefits to the locals. The people have intensified the struggle lately, even as a majority of their leaders have been arrested and imprisoned. A large number of civilians have also been arrested, and the Pakistan Army is notorious for extrajudicial killings in the region, which has further fuelled the hatred. The people in the region have been denied even the basic rights. Not taking into consideration the genuine demands of the people, the Pakistani government has labelled their protests as terrorist activities. In the Pakistan government's letter, it is mentioned that "keeping in view the involvement of some organisations and groups in terrorist activities in Balochistan, at the behest of India (Hindustan), which are detrimental to Islamic faith and sovereignty of Pakistan, and customary traditions, it has been decided that, henceforth, all Terrorist Groups and Organizations operating in Balochistan will be referred to as 'Fitna al Hindustan'." The letter states that the "change aims to reflect the true nature and ideology of these terrorist organisations and groups and nefarious designs of India (Hindustan) against the people of Pakistan". The communication further says that all government entities need to adopt and use this stance. Dubey has also questioned the IMF loan to Pakistan. He said in another post on X that whether the IMF or China, America, Saudi Arabia, or Turkey is giving a loan to Pakistan, all the money will go down the drain. "Worthless Pakistan will perish under the burden of debt," he said.

Algiers [Algeria], May 31 (ANI): BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, who is a member of the all-party delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda as part of Modi government's big diplomatic outreach, stated on Saturday that Algeria played a very 'big role' in the resolution that was passed against Pakistan in the UN Security Council after the Pahalgam attack... The Baijayant Panda-led delegation visited several important sites in Algeria, including the Church of Notre Dame, where they lit candles in memory of the victims of the dastardly Pahalgam terror attack. 'Algeria is a temporary member of the UNSC. It is a very important member of the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation), and its economy in African countries is the second biggest after South Africa. They have given high priority to our delegation. All the protocol officers of the Government of Algeria are working for us. They have made us state guests. Algeria wants to support us, Algeria played a very big role in the resolution that was passed against Pakistan in the UN Security Council after the Pahalgam attack...' While in Algeria, the all-party delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda visited Maqam Echahid, the National Martyrs Memorial and then the National Mujahid Museum. They also visited the Church of Notre Dame d'Afrique in Algiers and lit candles in memory of the victims of the Pahalgam terrorist attack. The Group 1 delegation includes senior parliamentarians and officials such as Nishikant Dubey, S. Phangnon Konyak, Rekha Sharma, Asaduddin Owaisi, Satnam Singh Sandhu, Ghulam Nabi Azad, and former Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla. India has sent several all-party delegations 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. (ANI)
