A day after the Centre named him as a member of one of the seven multi-party delegations for global outreach, senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid said the party must take a final call on his participation in the delegation that will travel to key countries to present India's position on terrorism.

Incidentally, the Congress did not recommend Khurshid to be part of the delegation.

The Union Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs on Saturday night released a list of 59 MPs who will represent India globally on issues of Pakistan-sponsored cross-border terrorism and Operation Sindoor.

He said that some miscommunication needs to be sorted out, and the government must follow the party's decision. "I'm yet to be part of the delegation. Though the government has announced my name, the decision is still hanging in the air because my party has to take a call. We have said that the government must follow the party's call," he said.
