India has initiated Operation Sindoor, a global outreach campaign aimed at exposing Pakistan’s alleged activities on the international stage. The first delegation, led by Shrikant Shinde, has set out for several countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Liberia, Congo, and Sierra Leone.
Objectives of Operation Sindoor
The primary goal of this diplomatic effort is to garner global support against Pakistan’s alleged terrorism activities. This follows India’s military strikes on May 7 against terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), which received widespread attention within India.
Strategic Significance
Operation Sindoor highlights the increasing strategic importance of Africa in India’s foreign policy. The mission includes delegations visiting African nations to strengthen diplomatic ties and promote India’s counter-terrorism narrative.
Key Elements of the Campaign
- Presenting evidence and narratives that contradict Pakistan’s perspectives, especially following events like the Pahalgam terror attack and espionage accusations in India.
- Engaging in high-level talks to strengthen bilateral relations and seek international support.
- Demonstrating India’s commitment to national security and counter-terrorism efforts.
Future Plans
The campaign is expected to continue with additional delegations traveling to more countries in the coming weeks. This will help maintain momentum and broaden international backing for India’s position against Pakistan’s alleged support for terror activities.
