New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is set to lead an all-party delegation on an overseas mission to convey India’s message of zero-tolerance against terrorism, even though his name was not among the Congress party's nominations for the role.

According to Congress’s communications chief Jairam Ramesh, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju requested the party on the morning of May 16 to propose four names for inclusion in the diplomatic initiative aimed at highlighting India’s concerns over terrorism originating from Pakistan.

"Yesterday morning, the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju spoke with the Congress President and the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha. The INC was asked to submit names of 4 MPs for the delegations to be sent abroad to explain India's stance on terrorism from Pakistan. By noon yesterday May 16th, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha wrote to the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs giving the following names on behalf of the INC," Ramesh wrote on X.

 

The Congress recommendation list included Anand Sharma, a former Cabinet Minister, Gaurav Gogoi, Deputy Leader of the party in the Lok Sabha, Dr Syed Naseer Hussain, a Rajya Sabha MP, and Raja Brar, Lok Sabha MP.

The Union government on Saturday announced that Opposition leaders Shashi Tharoor, Supriya Sule and Kanimozhi are among the MP’s who will lead the all-party delegations to key “partner nations” following Operation Sindoor.

Tharoor, responding to Centre's official announcement, said he was "honoured" by the invitation. “When national interest is involved, and my services are required, I will not be found wanting," he stated.

“The all-party delegations will project India’s national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all forms and manifestations. They would carry forth to the world the country’s strong message of zero-tolerance against terrorism,” the parliamentary affairs ministry said.

The seven leaders heading these delegations are: Shashi Tharoor (Congress), Supriya Sule (NCP – Sharad Pawar faction), Kanimozhi (DMK), Ravi Shankar Prasad (BJP), Baijayant Panda (BJP), Sanjay Kumar Jha (JDU), and Shrikant Eknath Shinde (Shiv Sena).
