Speaking to reporters on Friday, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has already contacted Kharge on the matter. “He will depute party leaders accordingly,” said Ramesh, adding that Congress has always prioritised national interest.

“We have heard that India is to send delegations of MPs from all political parties to world capitals to brief different countries on the recent India-Pakistan conflict. Keeping national interest paramount, Congress will join the delegation of multi-party MPs. If we get an invitation to join the delegation, the Congress party will join. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has spoken to the Congress President, and he will depute party leaders,” he said.
