BJP MP Baijayant Panda-led all-party delegation
In a strategic diplomatic push to unveil Pakistan’s terror affiliations before the international community and brief them about India’s Operation Sindoor, a high-level all-party parliamentary delegation from India has embarked on a multi-nation foreign tour.
This delegation, spearheaded by BJP National Vice President and Kendrapara MP Baijayant Panda, includes MPs Nishikant Dubey, Phangnon Konyak, Rekha Sharma, Asaduddin Owaisi, Satnam Singh Sandhu MP, Ghulam Nabi Azad, and Ambassador Harsh Shringla.
The delegation left Delhi today, departing for Bahrain, their first destination.
"Today, our group is embarking on this trip to West Asia with senior members and wide representation from across the political spectrum. The biggest message is the unity that India has shown, and that after having won on the battlefield, it is also important to ask the world to stay focused on terrorism,” said delegation leader Baijayant Panda to ANI.
He also added that his delegation will brief officials and diplomats on the severe harm posed by Pakistan’s sponsorship of terrorism and how several countries came out to support India’s stance on this state-sponsored terror by its neighbour.

After Bahrain, the delegation is scheduled to visit Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Algeria. Each stop is strategically chosen to engage with influential nations in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri briefed the delegation members on India’s international agenda and expected talking points, particularly focusing on Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and India’s efforts in regional stability.
