India Launches Global Diplomatic Offensive Following Operation Sindoor

New Delhi, May 20 – In the wake of Operation Sindoor, a decisive military operation targeting terror launchpads across the Line of Control, the Indian government has initiated an unprecedented global diplomatic campaign. Under the banner of “Operation Sindoor Outreach”, seven high-level delegations comprising 59 Members of Parliament — including former ministers and diplomats across the political spectrum — will visit 33 countries between May 21 and June 5.

This initiative, coordinated by the Ministry of External Affairs, aims to:

• Present a unified national stance on terrorism
• Isolate Pakistan on the international stage
• Highlight the military and intelligence complicity of Pakistan’s ISI in nurturing terror networks

Delegation members will present intelligence dossiers, evidence of cross-border terror involvement, and first-hand information from Operation Sindoor to foreign governments, media, think tanks, and UN bodies. Destinations span from Tokyo to Washington, Brussels to Jakarta, with a clear message: terrorism anywhere is a threat to peace everywhere — and India will not confront this menace alone.
