Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has been selected to lead one of the seven all-party delegations of MPs that the government plans to send abroad to brief key foreign governments on the recent India-Pakistan conflict and India’s stance on the issue.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, announcing the names, stressed, "In moments that matter most, Bharat stands united". "Seven All-Party Delegations will soon visit key partner nations, carrying our shared message of zero-tolerance to terrorism. A powerful reflection of national unity above politics, beyond differences," he tweeted.
Alongside Tharoor, the other MPs leading the delegations include:
Ravi Shankar Prasad (BJP)
Sanjay Kumar Jha (JDU)
