“As of now, I know that the group I belong to will be headed by my good friend Baijayant Jay Panda,” Owaisi said, adding that the group is expected to include parliamentarians and public figures such as Nishikant Dubey, Phangnon Konyak, Rekha Sharma, Satnam Singh Sandhu, and Ghulam Nabi Azad.

The visit is part of a larger diplomatic outreach following Operation Sindoor

The visit is part of a larger diplomatic outreach following Operation Sindoor, during which India has reiterated its zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism. The objective of these delegations is to present a unified, cross-party Indian position on the global stage, particularly to countries that hold key roles in international forums such as the United Nations Security Council.

The initiative also aims to highlight India's internal political consensus on the issue of national security, even amid diverse ideological affiliations.

More details on delegation routes, meetings, and agendas are expected to be released in the coming days.
