New Delhi [India], June 4 : BJP MP Brij Lal, who was a part of the delegation led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Jha, which visited Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia, where they received a warm response from leaders and citizens alike has criticises Pakistan's reported move to send delegations to a few countries on similar lines as India's all-party delegations.
Speaking to ANI, the BJP MP said, "There is no use in copying. Copying is also done with intelligence. I just read what they said in the newspaper..."
MP Brij Lal added that the Indian all-party delegations have unmasked Pakistan in front of the world.
"Not only 11 airbases, but more than that have been destroyed...The delegation sent by India around the world has unmasked Pakistan in front of everyone," he said.
Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde also questioned Pakistan's reported plan to send its delegations abroad, in what is being seen as a countermeasure to India's global outreach under Operation Sindoor.
Speaking to reporters, MP Shinde said, "What will Pakistan say? Was it India that has been responsible for spreading terrorism for so many years? Or tell us of the many lives taken by Pakistan?"
"We wanted to show that we are a peaceful country and we don't want war. We want only development. Our delegation went to five countries, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. The response from all the countries was good," he added.
The Indian delegation, of which Brij Lal was a part, was led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Jha, included BJP MPs Aparajita Sarangi, Pradan Baruah, Hemang Joshi; TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee; CPI-M's John Brittas; and Congress leader Salman Khurshid, among others. The delegation's tour included stops in Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore, underscoring India's commitment to regional peace, security, and development.
