Foreign Secretary Misri To Brief Parliamentary Panel On India-Pak Tensions

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri will brief the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs today in New Delhi, focusing on the Indian military’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ and the ongoing tensions with Pakistan.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who chairs the committee, will lead the examination of the diplomatic, military, and regional fallout of the recent cross-border developments.

The briefing follows the Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in multiple civilian and security personnel casualties and drew severe condemnation from the Indian government.

In retaliation, the Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor, a coordinated offensive aimed at dismantling terror infrastructure across the border.

The operation triggered a sustained period of military confrontation between India and Pakistan, which subsided after both sides reached an understanding to cease hostilities on 10 May.

Focus Of The Briefing

Misri will update the panel on India’s current diplomatic stance towards Pakistan, outline emerging cross-border threats, and explain the broader implications for regional peace and stability.

Sources suggest that his presentation will highlight India’s recalibration of its foreign policy amid shifting geopolitical dynamics and increased security concerns.

The meeting holds particular significance due to the delicate nature of India-Pakistan relations.

As both diplomatic engagement and military preparedness remain crucial, Misri’s insights are expected to shape future parliamentary deliberations and guide government strategy.

The Foreign Secretary has regularly briefed the committee on key aspects of India’s external affairs, including recent developments in relations with Canada and Bangladesh.

His inputs have helped shape parliamentary understanding of complex international issues.

In addition to Misri’s appearance, BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy, who chairs the Committee on Water Resources, will lead the panel in receiving briefings on critical environmental and hydrological issues.

Topics will include monsoon-induced flooding, riverbank erosion, and management of transboundary rivers.

The outcome of today’s briefing could play a crucial role in guiding India’s foreign policy approach towards Islamabad and its broader regional security posture.

Given that tensions remain fragile, the government is carefully balancing assertive defence measures with cautious diplomacy to ensure long-term stability in South Asia.
