In the wake of the success of 'Operation Sindoor', India has inaugurated a massive diplomatic campaign called "Operation Sindoor Outreach" — a comprehensive global campaign to expose Pakistan's overt and covert patronage of terrorism.
In a remarkable initiative, seven prominent delegations totaling 59 MPs — comprising former ministers, seasoned diplomats, and senior political leaders — will be traveling to 33 nations between May 21 and June 5.
This historic effort, spearheaded by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), represents a historic turn in India's foreign diplomacy with the objective of projecting a collective stand against terror while mobilizing international opinion to ostracize Pakistan for sheltering and abetting terror groups.
On Tuesday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri held detailed briefings for three of the outgoing delegations. Addressing the session, Misri emphasized India's strong stand: "India has been confronting cross-border terrorism for more than four decades. We have accepted a new normal in dealing with such acts. No space is available for ambivalence or appeasement."
As a reaction to Pakistan's latest offer for a joint probe into the Pahalgam terror attack, Misri rejected the idea outright: "Requesting Pakistan to co-investigate terror attacks on Indian soil is like requesting the thief to investigate his own misdeeds."
Every parliamentary party is equipped with sensitive documents of intelligence and classified reports, including irrefutable evidence from Operation Sindoor, which targeted and destroyed several terror launchpads along the Line of Control (LoC). Such material elaborates upon Pakistan's army and intelligence agencies' role, and more specifically the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), in facilitating terrorism.
The MEA delegations, accompanied by top MEA officials, have been entrusted with reaching out to global stakeholders — from foreign governments and legislatures to international media, civil society, diaspora groups, and institutions like the United Nations. They have been tasked with offering direct proof of Pakistan's continued patronage to terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), as well as its sheltering of internationally designated fugitives.
The campaign will reach out to key cities such as Tokyo, Washington, Brussels, and Jakarta, with a strong message: "Terrorism anywhere is a threat to peace everywhere, and India will not stand alone in this fight."
In an effort to show national cohesion, the campaign features members of the opposition and regional parties alongside representatives of the ruling government — a clear indication that India's war against terrorism goes beyond political boundaries.
Operation Sindoor Outreach is not merely a foreign policy strategy — it is India's unambiguous pronouncement that terrorist havens need to be dismantled and their patrons must be brought to book on the international stage.
