A high-level all-party parliamentary delegation, led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Baijayant Jay Panda, arrived in Bahrain this week to engage with the Indian diaspora and reaffirm India’s united and resolute stand against terrorism.
The visit marks the beginning of a wider diplomatic tour across Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Algeria.
It aims to reinforce India’s foreign policy priorities in the region and promote Operation Sindoor, India’s diplomatic initiative to raise awareness about cross-border terrorism, especially following recent attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.

Echoing the sentiment, MP Nishikant Dubey noted, “We held meetings with Indian and Bahraini parliamentarians, writers, industrialists, and social leaders to discuss Operation Sindoor and India’s future strategy against terrorism.”
