All-party delegation led by Sule meets Qatari MPs, conveys India's outrage over Pahalgam attack
Earlier, the delegation paid floral tributes at the bust of Mahatma Gandhi at the embassy. The delegation highlighted that the visit reflected India's united stance on cross-border terrorism. 'Qatar emphasised its own zero-tolerance policy against terrorism and that terrorism must be condemned globally,' the Indian Embassy in Qatar posted on X. Doha, May 25 (PTI) An all-party parliamentary delegation led by NCP-SP leader Supriya Sule on Sunday met with Deputy Speaker of the Qatar Shura Council Dr Hamda Al Sulaiti and other Qatari MPs and conveyed India's national outrage over the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The all-party delegation arrived in Qatar late Saturday as part of the government's outreach with the international community on the fight against terror and on the significance of Operation Sindoor. Apart from Sule, the working president of the NCP-SP, the delegation comprises BJP leaders Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Anurag Thakur and V Muraleedharan, Congress leaders Manish Tewari and Anand Sharma, TDP leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu, AAP leader Vikramjeet Singh Sawhney, and former diplomat Syed Akbaruddin. It will also travel to South Africa, Ethiopia and Egypt. 'Taking India's strong message against terrorism to the world! A warm welcome to the multi-party delegation led by @Supriya_sule to Qatar. Ambassador @vipulifs received the delegation. @MEAIndia,' the Indian Embassy in Doha said on X. Qatar is considered to wield influence in the West Asian region and has a role as a mediator in regional conflicts. The Sule-led group will then travel to South Africa, which holds the current G-20 Presidency and then head to Ethiopia, which is also the home to the African Union. The delegation will visit Egypt, an influential country in the Arab world. 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 and assert that the recent conflict was triggered by the Pahalgam terror strike and not Operation Sindoor as alleged by Islamabad. Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 lives. India carried out precision strikes as part of Operation Sindoor on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7, following which 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.
