"Indian government's tenor has become different after Pahalgam attack," says Aparajita Sarangi

Seoul [South Korea], May 25 (ANI): BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi, who is one of the members of the all-party delegation in Seoul, South Korea, addressed the Indian community in Seoul on Sunday and said that after the Pahalgam attack, the tenor of the Indian government has changed.
"Now the entire tenor of the Indian government is different: an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. This message has to go to Pakistan and every country in the world," Sarangi said.
Sarangi stressed the Indian government's zero-tolerance policy and added that nine terrorist infrastructures were demolished "adopting non-escalatory approach". The BJP MP further added that as per the Indian government, safety of "140 crore Indians is extremely important," and that cannot be compromised at all.
"Article 370 and Article 35A bid farewell on August 5, 2019. And after that Jammu and Kashmir started leaping forward. In every sector, J&K was flourishing. There was peace and order, and economic progress and this made somebody living nearby, very uncomfortable. And that is why this happened," Sarangi referred to the Pahalgam attack, indicating Pakistan.
She also stressed India's economic progress. "We are the fourth-largest economy, Japan is behind. Very soon Germany will be behind us and we would be the third-largest economy. We are growing towards Viksit Bharat 2047 and we're the fastest growing economy," Sarangi said.
Earlier on Sunday, Janata Dal United (JDU) MP Sanjay Jha, who is leading an all-party delegation to South 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 South 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 (PoJK) was hit with precision.
Jha said, "All the Opposition parties are together saying that this is the new normal-- if you hit us, we will hit you back. During Operation Sindoor, terrorist infrastructure was hit with such precision that not a single civilian on the Pakistani side was killed. Pakistan tried to attack India through drones, they tried to hit out at civilians, temples, and gurudwaras, but didn't succeed. The people of India have made up their minds that not only terrorists but we will also those who nurture and fund terrorism. Pakistan is the factory of terrorism. There are no factories in Pakistan; the only factory there is of terrorism."
Jha emphasised the unity among Indian political parties in the fight against terrorism.
Earlier in the day, Group 3 of India's all-party parliamentary delegation, led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, held a meeting with Ambassador of India to the Republic of Korea, Amit Kumar, at the Indian Embassy in Seoul.
The delegation also includes Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, CPI(M) MP John Brittas, BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi, BJP MP Brij Lal, BJP MP Pradan Baruah, Ambassador Mohan Kumar, and BJP MP Hemang Joshi. The visit marks a continuation of Operation Sindoor, India's diplomatic outreach following the recent terror attacks in Pahalgam. (ANI)
