In response to India’s recent diplomatic outreach following Operation Sindoor, Pakistan has announced that it will send a delegation abroad to present its stance on recent regional tensions. The move comes amid growing global scrutiny of Pakistan’s links to terrorism, highlighted by India’s military operations targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Pakistan’s initiative is perceived as an effort to counter India’s growing influence and diplomatic momentum. India has already announced the deployment of seven all-party delegations to various international forums to explain the rationale and success of Operation Sindoor, underlining its zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism.

In a recent statement, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari revealed that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif requested him to lead a delegation to advocate for peace on the global stage. Zardari expressed his commitment to representing Pakistan during what he called “challenging times.”

However, analysts suggest that Pakistan’s credibility may face significant challenges due to its historical failure to dismantle terror infrastructure. Its retaliatory actions, including targeting civilians in response to Operation Sindoor, have further complicated its global image.

India’s delegations, consisting of leaders from multiple political parties including Congress, BJP, DMK, JDU, NCP (SP), and Shiv Sena, will travel to key international partner countries to project a united national stance against terrorism. The effort is designed to convey a message of bipartisan consensus and national unity in the face of cross-border threats.

Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, was a direct response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam. It resulted in the elimination of over 100 terrorists associated with groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen. India’s action prompted Pakistan to launch cross-border shelling and drone attacks, after which India responded with a coordinated military strike targeting critical infrastructure across 11 airbases in Pakistan.
