In a significant diplomatic outreach, an all-party delegation led by JDU MP Sanjay Kumar Jha engaged with the Indian diaspora in Singapore as part of India’s broader strategy to counter international narratives around terrorism. The delegation didn't just focus on diaspora interaction but also took a firm stand against Pakistan’s persistent role in sponsoring cross-border terrorism. This visit is part of a multi-nation initiative to brief international partners on India’s strong response to the Pahalgam terror attack and promote the facts behind Operation Sindoor, a mission that underlines India's growing assertiveness in eliminating terrorist threats originating from Pakistani soil.

Pakistan's Terror Nexus Exposed on International Soil

Addressing the gathering, Sanjay Kumar Jha made it clear that India’s political parties stand united against terrorism, especially when it's state-sponsored. He said, "All the political parties are together. We are going to the world to tell the truth about Pakistan and its Army... Pakistan's entire system is based on terrorism, their way and their politics are like this only - to equip, to sponsor, to train them and then send them across the border." This sharp indictment of Pakistan's policies was the central theme of the visit.

The Indian delegation’s message was unequivocal: Pakistan’s state machinery, including its army, is deeply embedded in the planning, funding, and execution of terror operations across the border. This accusation comes in the wake of the deadly April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which innocent lives were lost. The delegation emphasized that such acts cannot go unanswered and must be highlighted before the international community.

Operation Sindoor: A Precision Strike Against Terror Infrastructure

Explaining India’s response to the Pahalgam attack, Sanjay Jha reiterated that Operation Sindoor was not only precise but also strategically planned to avoid civilian casualties. According to Jha, the mission, which began on the night of May 7, targeted nine terrorist launchpads inside Pakistan-occupied territory. He clarified, "Our target was to eliminate terrorists who are trained, financed, and have a launch pad on Pakistan side... No civilian was hurt, no military infrastructure was targeted."

The operation was a message to both terrorist groups and their handlers in Pakistan—that India will no longer tolerate proxy warfare and will respond with surgical precision to any threat that compromises its sovereignty or the safety of its citizens.

Indian Diaspora Shows Solidarity

Members of the Indian diaspora in Singapore strongly backed India’s actions and praised the government’s resolve. Vaishali Bhatt, a resident of Singapore who was in Pahalgam shortly before the April 22 attack, expressed both her fear and support:
"I was in Pahalgam when the attack happened... We were getting to know the news in bits and pieces, but the gravity of the situation was unknown... We are very happy that our government retaliated in this way through Operation Sindoor. It was much needed."

Another attendee, Akanksha, echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the need to present India’s perspective to the global community:
"The coming of this delegation is very important because we are able to keep our side of the story before the world. India had the right to retaliate and it was much needed."

These voices from abroad are crucial for India’s diplomatic stance, especially as international sympathy often tilts toward narratives of victimhood from nations like Pakistan despite overwhelming evidence of their complicity in terror networks.

A Multi-Party United Front

The strength of the delegation lies in its multi-party composition, underscoring India's bipartisan consensus on national security matters. Along with Sanjay Jha, the delegation includes Aparajita Sarangi (BJP), Abhishek Banerjee (TMC), John Brittas (CPI-M), Salman Khurshid (Congress), and others. Their unified front aims to convey to global stakeholders that the Indian response to terrorism transcends political affiliations.

This united approach is especially important in international diplomacy, where a coherent, unified narrative strengthens a nation’s legitimacy on sensitive issues like cross-border terrorism and national defense.

Expanding Diplomatic Engagement

The delegation’s Singapore leg is part of a broader diplomatic tour that includes Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Republic of Korea. These countries are strategically chosen not just for their economic relevance, but also for their geopolitical clout in the Indo-Pacific region—a region increasingly troubled by security tensions.

By engaging with global leaders and Indian communities abroad, the delegation hopes to:

• Build consensus on counter-terrorism efforts;

• Expose Pakistan’s double standards on peace and terrorism;

• Strengthen international backing for India’s defensive actions like Operation Sindoor.

The Road Ahead: India’s Growing Assertiveness

This latest diplomatic move marks India’s strategic pivot to proactive engagement, shifting from reactive condemnation to active dissemination of its side of the story. For decades, Pakistan has projected a narrative of victimhood while covertly sponsoring terrorism. Now, India is taking the fight to the global stage, supported by both its citizens and the global Indian community.

Final Thoughts

The delegation led by MP Sanjay Jha has served its purpose well in Singapore: galvanizing Indian support, countering misinformation, and promoting India’s firm, yet responsible stance on terrorism. The diplomatic offensive against Pakistan’s duplicity is likely to gain traction as the team moves to other key nations in the coming weeks.

With Operation Sindoor setting a new precedent in India’s counter-terrorism playbook and the government’s multi-pronged diplomacy in full swing, the message to the global community is clear: India will not tolerate terrorism and will act decisively to protect its people and interests.
