The delegation, led by Ravi Shankar Prasad, includes BJP MPs Daggubati Purandeswari, MJ Akbar, Gulam Ali Khatana, and Samik Bhattacharya; Congress MP Amar Singh, Priyanka Chaturvedi from Shiv Sena (UBT,) AIADMK MP M Thambidurai and former diplomat Pankaj Saran.
The delegation arrived in Germany after concluding their visit to Belgium. Earlier, Ravi Shankar Prasad, said they raised strong concerns about terrorism during their visit to Brussels and generals of Pakistan "run that country with the help of a military terrorist coalition", which is a "threat" to democracy and humanity.
He also called India the "voice" of the victims of terrorism and described the visit very "satisfying"
Speaking to ANI, Prasad said, "Today, our visit to Brussels is ending. I congratulate Ambassador Kumar and his entire team for the whole arrangement... The way terrorism is growing in the European Union, we raised this topic and also raised that India is an economic powerhouse and the generals of Pakistan run that country with the help of a military terrorist coalition, which is a threat to democracy and humanity. We also spoke about what human rights, whether the victims of terrorism have human rights or not, and India is their voice; they appreciated it very much, so it was a very fruitful visit. I would consider it a very satisfying visit."
Former Deputy National Security Advisor Pankaj Saran, who is part of the same delegation, stated that the European Union understands India's evolution into a "major economic geopolitical force."
"I think it was an absolutely excellent visit. It is so evident that India today is looming so large on the horizon of the European Union in a broader geopolitical sense. So they understand the evolution of India into a very major economic geopolitical force and so that is the basic underlying message and the underlying pillar of all the discussions and that is why they all actually started with the importance of concluding a free trade agreement with India," he said.
This diplomatic effort forms part of India's global outreach following Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7 in response to the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam by Pakistan-sponsored militants that claimed 26 lives and injured several others.
Subsequently, the Indian Armed Forces carried out targeted strikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of over 100 terrorists linked to groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen. (ANI)
