John Barla, and senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid. Advertisement Their visit is part of India’s global diplomatic outreach to highlight the significance of Operation Sindoor and the
country’s ongoing fight against Pakistan-sponsored cross-border terrorism. Earlier on Saturday, the delegation interacted with the Indian community in Japan, emphasizing India’s policy of
zero tolerance toward terrorism and underlining the diaspora’s role in conveying this message across Japan. The visit began with a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and concluded with the delegation
paying homage to freedom fighter Rash Behari Bose at Tama Cemetery in Tokyo on the eve of his birth anniversary. The visit marked the beginning of an unprecedented diplomatic initiative by
India to expose Pakistan’s sustained involvement in cross-border terrorism, including the heinous April 22 attack in Pahalgam. “During their three-day visit to Japan, the delegation held
constructive meetings and interactions with a range of stakeholders, including government officials, media representatives, and academic leaders. In these engagements, Sanjay Kumar Jha
emphasized that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of every Indian and to working with the international
community to combat the scourge of terrorism,” the Indian Embassy said in an official statement. “In each of the meetings, Jha conveyed that the Pahalgam terrorist attack was a deliberate
attempt to derail peace and development in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. India responded through Operation Sindoor in a precise, targeted, proportionate, and non-escalatory
manner. He reiterated India’s policy of zero tolerance for terrorism and its commitment to making no distinction between terrorists and those who support them,” the statement added.
Furthermore, the Indian Embassy noted that Jha stressed the importance of combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, asserting that there can be no neutral stance in this
global fight. He urged Japan’s support in swiftly bringing the perpetrators, organizers, financiers, and sponsors of the Pahalgam attack to justice. Japanese political leaders expressed
their support for India’s fight against terrorism and underscored the need to hold those responsible for such acts accountable. Advertisement
