All-Party Indian Parliamentary Delegation Launches Operation Sindoor Outreach In Japan

<p>In the wake of the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, Indian Ambassador to Japan Sibi George on Thursday briefed an all-party parliamentary delegation led by Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Jha at the Embassy of India in Tokyo. The interaction spotlighted India&rsquo;s firm commitment to combating terrorism and its diplomatic efforts under Operation Sindoor.</p>
<p>The delegation’s Tokyo visit is part of a five-nation outreach aimed at rallying global support and delivering a clear message about India&rsquo;s zero-tolerance stance on cross-border terrorism. Ambassador George emphasized Japan&rsquo;s swift response to the attack, describing the incident as “dastardly” and underlining Tokyo’s early show of solidarity.</p>
<p>&ldquo;On the terror attack happened, cross-border terrorism happened, Japan was one of the first countries [to respond]. The all-party delegation [is here], so that we can discuss how we approach our Japanese interlocutory. Our parliamentary delegation is led by honourable Member of Parliament Sanjay Jha,&rdquo; said George.</p>
<p>The Indian Embassy in Tokyo reinforced this position via social media, posting on X: &ldquo;All-Party Parliamentary Delegation was briefed by Ambassador Sibi George on Japan-specific approach to engagements, setting the context for a strong messaging of India&rsquo;s fight against terrorism.&rdquo;</p>
