New Delhi:

While speaking to the media, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor shared in his remarks that the delegation will pay a visit to the 9/11 memorial in the US. In Guyana, the delegation will participate in the Independence Day celebrations and meet the officials. As the leader of an all-party delegation to partner countries, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has said that the delegation will share India's stance on terrorism and tell the world how India has been suffering from the past many years.

Earlier, in a video message shared on X, Tharoor said," I'm heading off to five countries leading an all-party delegation to Guyana, Panama, Colombia, Brazil and the United States, and the reason we are going is to speak for the nation, to speak about this horrendous crisis we were subjected to in which our country was attacked by terrorists in the cruellest possible way." He highlighted that the delegation will bring to attention the values India stands for, which have to be preserved in the world today.

"We are going there to tell people about our experience, why we did what we did and what would be India's attitude going forward in the future. We will meet people and share what we have been suffering from past so many years", he said. Tharoor also shared on X a photograph of the members of the delegation and said that others would join en route.

Tharoor said, "We need to speak up with clarity and conviction for our country, for our response and to give the world the message that we will not be silenced by terrorism and we don't want the world to look away either. We don't want indifference to triumph over the truth. It's a mission of peace. It's a mission of hope. And it's a mission that will one day remind the world that India stands for all the values we need to preserve in the world today of peace, of democracy, of freedom, and not of hatred, killing and of terror. Jai Hind".

BJP leader Tejasvi Surya told media, "The honourable Prime Minister of India has placed on all of us a very important responsibility of communicating to the world India's position on Pakistan emanating terror- zero tolerance against it and why the world needs to take note of this terror establishment, infrastructure that Pakistan has created, because it is not only dangerous for India, but is also a threat to global peace and security."

He slammed Pakistan and said, "Since its inception, since its birth, Pakistan has orchestrated a series of terror attacks against India, starting with the war of 1947. The most recent Pahalgam attack is a reminder of Pakistan's dastardly and barbaric terror activities that they have unleashed against India. Pakistan has also given haven to multiple terrorist organisations and leaders of these terrorist groups, including Osama bin Laden. It is beyond reasonable doubt to the whole world that Pakistan today is a terror-exporting state, and the world needs to take note of this."

In his concluding remarks, he said, "It is to communicate this all-important message against Pakistani terror attacks and also communicate to the world India's message of hope and peace, and India's message of democracy and strength." Tharoor, along with other MPs from Group 5, will visit the United States, Guyana, Panama, Brazil, and Colombia.

The all-party delegations will project India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. They will convey to the world the country's strong message of zero tolerance for terrorism.

The delegation led by Tharoor also has BJP's Shashank Mani Tripathi, Bhubaneswar Kalita, and Tejasvi Surya, along with LJP (Ram Vilas)'s Shambhavi Choudhary, TDP's GM Harish Balayogi, Shiv Sena's Milind Deora, JMM's Sarfaraz Ahmad, along with former Ambassador to the US, Taranjit Singh Sandhu.
