The Operation Sindoor was once introduced on May 6-7 to avenge the killings of 26 civilians by means of terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22.

 

Talking in regards to the international locations visited by means of the parliamentary delegation and their bilateral courting with Pakistan, Panda knowledgeable that although those are Islamic countries, their paths aren’t the similar as that of Pakistan since all 4 international locations, together with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Algeria, have taken “strong” motion in opposition to “jihadism”.

Contrary to movements taken by means of those international locations, the BJP MP stated, Pakistan has long gone in the other way, encouraging jihadis and fundamentalist components.

 

“Keep in mind that over the last couple of decades, you know, these are all Islamic countries, but their path and Pakistan’s path have diverged quite a bit. All these four countries have taken very strong actions against jihadism and Salafist elements, and they have rubbed them out from operating on their soil,” Panda stated.

 

“Pakistan has gone in the opposite direction. It continues to encourage jihadis and fundamentalist elements. This is why there is a divergence in their relationship with Pakistan,” he added.

“Some of these countries have helped Pakistan financially in the past years, and they have seen that the aid has been misused. Now, these countries have developed their schools, roads, colleges and hospitals. But Pakistan has taken their money and, instead of using it for the same purpose, has used it to finance terrorism,” he stated, including, “These are things that they are very unhappy about, and they did make it very clear to us that they stand with us.”

 

Furthermore, Panda stated that the 4 Islamic countries understand India and Pakistan in totally alternative ways, categorising the neighbouring nation as a “problem child” who abstains from turning into standard and has “misused the support”.
