Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 25 (ANI): Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Sunday extended support to the government's Operation Sindoor global outreach initiative aimed at exposing Pakistan-based terrorism following the Pahalgam terror attack. He said that the unity, integrity, and security of India are of utmost importance.
Aaditya Thackeray emphasised that national security must remain above politics and said, "We are ready to lay down our lives for the country."
Speaking about the delegation of Indian MPs visiting various nations as part of Operation Sindoor, Aaditya Thackeray said, "Union Minister Kiren Rijiju had personally reached out to Uddhav Thackeray to explain the initiative. Initially, we questioned whether it was politically motivated. But Rijiju assured us that it was in the interest of the nation."
Thackeray added, "We are ready to lay down our lives for the country. The unity, integrity, and security of India are of utmost importance."
Highlighting the objective of the international outreach, he said, "We want to make it clear to the world that the Pahalgam terror attack was orchestrated by Pakistan-based terrorists. The global community must come together to combat such terrorism."
While asserting the Opposition's role within the country, he noted, "We will continue to question the government about the whereabouts of the terrorists. But before the world, we stand united as one nation. There will be no politicisation on this front."
Meanwhile, Janata Dal United (JDU) MP Sanjay Jha, who is leading an all-party delegation to the Republic of Korea and other key Asian nations, strongly criticised Pakistan on the issue of terrorism, terming it a "factory of terrorism."
Addressing the Indian community in Seoul, the capital city of the Republic of Korea, Jha highlighted India's firm stance against terrorism and reiterated the country's new normal against terrorism - "If you hit us, we will hit you back."
The delegation leader, Jha, also hailed Operation Sindoor, under which terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir was hit with precision.
He emphasised the unity among Indian political parties in the fight against terrorism.
