"Received positive response after presenting our case to every nation": All-party delegation member Sarfaraz Ahmad

Speaking to ANI, Ahmad said, "We received a positive response after presenting our case to every nation. Initially, Colombia issued a statement in favour of Pakistan, but after we explained the situation, they changed their stance before the meeting. Notably, our meeting with US Vice President JD Vance was productive. He demonstrated a thorough understanding of the situation as he was present in India during the attack (Pahalgam terror attack)."

Another member of the delegation, Telugu Desam Party MP GM Harish Balayogi, said that it was heartening to see legislators and representatives stand by them after understanding the situation.

"Our visit to five nations - Guyana, Panama City, Brazil, Colombia, and the United States - was very interesting. They received us warmly and understood our perspective. Initially, some nations expressed condolences for the lives lost in Pakistan, but after we explained the scenario from Pahalgam to the operation Sindoor, they condemned the incident and acknowledged India's right to respond. They even said they will retract their initial message, which was a significant achievement for us. It was heartening to see legislators and representatives stand by us after understanding the situation," Balayogi told ANI.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet members of the all-party global delegation under Operation Sindoor global outreach today at 7 pm at his official residence, Lok Kalyan Marg.
