All-party delegations meet leaders and diplomats from several countries to galvanize international action against terrorists

ALL-PARTY parliamentary delegations on Friday met leaders and diplomats from several countries to galvanize international action against terrorists and decisively counter the tactics of those who perpetrate, support and sponsor cross-border terror activities against India.

In Bogota, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, leading an all-party delegation, elaborated India's position on terrorism and voiced his disappointment over Colombia offering condolences for the loss of lives in Pakistan following Indian strikes in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.

Tharoor “reaffirmed India's stance on terrorism and expressed disappointment over Colombia's response which has offered condolences for the loss of lives in Pakistan, rather than sympathizing with the victims of terrorism in India," said BJP MP Tejasvi Surya, who is part of the nine-member delegation.

"There can be no equivalence between those who attack and those who defend," he said in a social media post.

Surya said India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will continue to deliver strong responses to terrorism.
