Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to hold a significant meeting with members of the multi-party delegations that were deployed to 33 countries following the Pahalgam terror attack and the launch of Operation Sindoor, India’s latest counter-terror initiative. This meeting is likely to take place in New Delhi on June 9 or 10, according to sources familiar with the matter.
These delegations were part of a bipartisan diplomatic outreach, consisting of MPs across political lines, senior leaders, and experienced diplomats. Their mission was to garner international support for India’s stance on terrorism and to brief foreign governments on the country’s national security objectives in light of the recent attack in Pahalgam.
In a notable example of political unity, the government dispatched seven delegations, each headed by a leading parliamentarian from different parties:
-
Shashi Tharoor (Indian National Congress)
-
Ravi Shankar Prasad (Bharatiya Janata Party)
-
Sanjay Kumar Jha (Janata Dal United)
-
Baijayant Panda (BJP)
-
Kanimozhi Karunanidhi (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam)
-
Supriya Sule (Nationalist Congress Party)
-
Shrikant Eknath Shinde (Shiv Sena)
During their visits, these delegations engaged in high-level diplomatic talks and strategic briefings with global counterparts, aiming to rally international opinion against terrorism and in favor of India’s regional security efforts.
The upcoming meeting with the Prime Minister will include a comprehensive debriefing on their findings, including:
-
Details of official meetings and bilateral conversations
-
The tone and content of international responses to India’s actions
-
Perspectives on India’s counter-terror strategy and regional stability
In parallel, PM Modi is scheduled to chair a crucial council of ministers meeting on June 4 at 4:30 PM, the first since Operation Sindoor was initiated. This meeting is expected to review internal security, diplomatic progress, and the broader trajectory of India's counter-terror operations following the Pahalgam attack.
