All-party delegation in Spain to convey India's policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism

Madrid: An all-party delegation led by DMK MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has reached Spain on a three-day visit during which it will meet members of the Spanish government, the Indian diaspora and civil society representatives to present India’s stance on zero-tolerance against terrorism.

The delegation, which arrived here from Latvia on Saturday, is part of India's diplomatic outreach following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives.

"Over the next two days, the delegation will meet with members of the Spanish government, the Indian diaspora and civil society representatives to present India’s stance of #ZeroToleranceForTerrorism," the Embassy of India in Madrid said on X.

The delegation will convey India's resolute and uncompromising stance against terrorism and advocate for stronger international cooperation in addressing this global challenge.

The delegation, led by a senior Member of Parliament from the opposition party, reflects the strong national consensus and unity across political lines in India's fight against terrorism, the mission said in a statement.

It is one of the seven multi-party delegations India has tasked to visit 33 global capitals to reach out to the international community to emphasise Pakistan’s links to terrorism.

Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the Pahalgam terror attack, with India carrying out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7.

Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9, and 10. The Indian side responded strongly to the Pakistani actions.

The on-ground hostilities ended with an understanding of stopping the military actions following talks between the directors general of military operations of both sides on May 10.
