New Delhi [India], May 23 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ravishankar Prasad attended the all-party MPs' delegation meeting on Friday. After the meeting, BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad said that the country needs to be united.
Prasad said, "There is a need for the whole of India to speak in one voice."
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri briefed four all-party delegations on Friday, which will visit partner countries to highlight India's policy of zero tolerance to terrorism and its fight against cross-border terrorism.
Vikram Misri had briefed three all-party delegations earlier.
BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad is heading the team to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Algeria.
Earlier, Ravishankar Prasad vowed to convey India's concerns effectively before the international community after being named a member of the delegation visiting key partner countries to project India's continued fight against cross-border terrorism and Operation Sindoor.
Speaking to ANI, Prasad said that the step to choose members from Opposition parties is great foresight, terming it a strategy of India for peace and tough action against terrorism.
"This is a great foresight of the government of India and particularly the Prime Minister that he has trusted members of parliament of all political parties to go and convey to the world the strategy of India for peace and tough action against terrorism. Terrorism is a global curse. I am happy that the PM has chosen me to lead one of the delegations and I have been conveyed by the sources that I will be going to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Algeria with my colleagues," he stated.
"Why is it that wherever there is any global terrorism, some needle of suspicion points to Pakistan. We will convey India's concerns," the BJP MP added.
The Centre has chosen a seven-member all-party delegation that will visit key partner countries, including members of the UN Security Council, later this month.
The following Members of Parliament are leading the seven delegations: Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad, JDU leader Sanjay Kumar Jha, BJP leader Baijayant Panda, DMK leader Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule, and Shiv Sena leader Shrikant Eknath Shinde.
The all-party delegation projects India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will convey to the world the country's strong message of zero tolerance for terrorism. (ANI)
