Delhi Confidential: United front
In Jakarta, Congress leader and outreach delegation member Salman Khurshid eloquently praised the ruling BJP's 'graciousness' in including members of Opposition parties in the initiative. His statement, however, didn't sit well with some of the Opposition MPs. Addressing the Indian community in Kuala Lumpur, CPI(M) MP John Brittas, who is a part of the same delegation, said Khurshid had forgotten to complete his statement and mention the Opposition's 'equally gracious response' to the gesture of the ruling party. Keen to play the non-partisan role, JD(U)'s Sanjay Kumar Jha, the delegation head, in his own stride declared that the mission's success was a result of exemplary mutual courtesy of both sides. Past Connection A grand event organised in Agra on Sunday to commemorate the 300th birth anniversary of Ahilyabai Holkar, the revered queen of Malwa kingdom, drew a large crowd from Pal, Baghel and Dhangar communities across multiple states. The event was orgainsed by Union Minister S P Singh Baghel, who, it is learnt, had been involved in its preparations for the last one month. Addressing the gathering, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar said he shared a personal connection with one of the communities present at the event. 'I remember in my childhood, the Rebari of our village played a big role in raising me,' he said, referring to the traditionally nomadic pastoralist community found primarily in Rajasthan.

"Hum honge kaamyaab": Salman Khurshid highlights India's unified stance against terrorism in Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur [Malaysia], June 1 (ANI): Congress leader Salman Khurshid, part of the JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha-led delegation, on Sunday highlighted India's unified stance against terrorism, underscoring the need for a collective global response to combat terrorism, promoting peace and prosperity worldwide. 'With one voice India is saying, 'Terrorism no more.'... We hope to create a collective rise against terrorism to make the globe peaceful and prosperous... We can confidently say, 'Hum honge kaamyaab',' he said. Notably, 'I'll Overcome Someday' was a hymn or gospel music composition by the Reverend Charles Albert Tindley of Philadelphia that was first published in 1901. In India, the renowned poet Girija Kumar Mathur composed a literal translation in Hindi 'Hum Honge Kaamyab' which became a popular patriotic/spiritual song during the 1970s and 1980s, particularly in schools. Khurshid said that India's all-party delegation shows diversity, as well as unity, because of the way they unequivocally condemn terrorism despite being from different parties. 'The message we come with. It is a message of unity. We are from several parties. We are from several regions of India. We are from several religions of India. But if you want to see how when it comes to the nation and your motherland how you come together and how you combine how you speak in a single voice is what we are here to show and which is which is something that we by commitment and deep in our hearts we feel very strongly, which is why we are here together to present this picture to you,' he said. Khurshid said that beyond everyday politics that happens in India, all politicians rise above differences and unite when it comes to serving the nation. 'And in many ways, when we look at all of you having links with the motherland... One point to make about this is that we are here combined on one issue and whatever news you may get from India, you get from what is happening every day in India, that's part of the everyday life of India, the politics of the everyday life of India, but we rise above that politics when we come to serve the nation,' he said. Khurshid added that even when the soldiers go to protect the borders, they have only one sentiment- to protect Mother India. 'People, when they go to war to protect the country, to protect the borders of our country. They go there as essentially as Indians. They have their faiths. They have their languages, they have their cultures, they have their subcultures, but when they are at the border, they have only one sentiment, and that is the sentiment to protect Mother India,' he said. Khurshid is part of the all-party parliamentary delegation led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, which is currently visiting partner countries to reinforce India's firm resolve against cross-border terrorism and its zero-tolerance policy. The delegation has so far visited Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore. It includes BJP MPs Brij Lal, Pradan Baruah, Hemang Joshi, and Aparajita Sarangi; Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee; CPI-M's John Brittas; Congress leader and former Union minister Salman Khurshid; and Mohan Kumar.

After Tharoor row, Salman Khurshid's take on Art 370 fresh headache for Congress
File photo: Congress leader Salman Khurshid (Picture credit: ANI) NEW DELHI: The all-party delegations visiting various countries to expose Pakistan post the Pahalgam attack seem to be becoming a headache for the Congress with senior party leader and former external affairs minister Salman Khurshid's recent remarks backing nullification of Article 370 in 2019 by the Modi government likely to discomfit the Congress. This comes after another delegation member, Shashi Tharoor, faced strong criticism from within the party for his statement that India crossed the line of control (LoC) to conduct surgical strikes "for the first time" under the Modi government. While addressing think tanks and academia in Indonesia on Friday, Khurshid said it was unfortunate that Pakistan wants to undo the prosperity that has come to Jammu & Kashmir following the abrogation. Khurshid is part of one of the seven- all party delegations currently touring various countries. The Congress had initially opposed the move to scrap Article 370. The party later nuanced its position and has since been ambivalent on the issue of restoration of the Article which granted J&K special status. "Kashmir had a major problem for a long time. Much of that was reflected in the thinking of the government in an article called 370 of the Constitution, which somehow gave the impression that it was separate from the rest of the country. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Что происходит при сжигании лаврового листа? Undo But Article 370 was abrogated, it was finally put to an end, because so much time had passed.," Khurshid said while addressing the Indonesian think tanks and academia. "Subsequently, there was an election with 65% participation. There's an elected government in Kashmir today, and therefore, for people to want to undo everything that has happened, the prosperity that has come to Kashmir, it is very unfortunate. It will give a setback to anybody," Khurshid further said. While the senior leadership made no comment on Khurshid's remarks, unease within the party has been brewing ever since the government announced the names for the 51 members of the all-party delegations. The Congress had accused the Modi government of "complete insincerity" and for playing "cheap political games" while highlighting that "regrettably" only one of the four names suggested by the Congress leadership has been included. However, the opposition party relented, allowing "eminent" party members selected by the government to go with the delegations and make their contribution. The Congress had submitted the names of Anand Sharma, Gaurav Gogoi, Syed Naseer Hussain, and Amrinder Singh Raja Warring. However, the delegation finalised by the government includes Shashi Tharoor who is leading a delegation. There are also Manish Tewari, Anand Sharma, Salman Khurshid and Amar Singh in other delegations.

Salman Khurshid Slams Pakistan's Chaos, Exposes Truth on Ceasefire Call During Operation Sindoor Source: Congress leader and former External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, speaking in Jakarta as part of the all-party delegation, exposed Pakistan's continued ceasefire violations even after its DGMO requested India to stop hostilities during Operation Sindoor. Khurshid emphasized that India did not initiate the ceasefire call and only paused its strikes after Pakistan pleaded to stop. He pointed to chaos within Pakistan's army and civilian government, noting internal power struggles and a lack of control over military actions. Khurshid praised India's restraint, asserting that the nation's strength lies in its unity, regardless of political affiliations. Stressing India's rising global aspirations, he urged Pakistan to give up terrorism and recognize India's resolve. He said the joint delegation's message was clear: India stands united against terrorism and is committed to protecting its sovereignty through decisive action, as seen during Operation Sindoor.#salmanKhurshid #operationSindoor #ceasefiretruth #pakistanviolations #indiaunited #indiavsTerror #allpartydelegation #jakartaspeech #dgmocall #nationfirst #toibharat
