The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has recently created a significant political stir by opposing the Centre’s decision to appoint its MP Yusuf Pathan to multi-party delegations scheduled to visit global capitals. These delegations are part of India’s strategic diplomatic initiative to showcase its zero-tolerance stance on terrorism, particularly in response to escalating tensions with Pakistan and the initiation of Operation Sindoor.
TMC’s Position:
- Leaders Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee expressed strong disapproval, emphasizing the lack of consultation from the Centre regarding the nominations.
- They asserted that the selection of party representatives should be an internal decision, stating, “The Centre cannot unilaterally decide who will represent us.”
Centre and BJP’s Response:
- The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused TMC of politicizing the issue, highlighting that the delegations symbolize the nation rather than individual party interests.
- BJP spokesperson RP Singh called for cooperation and unity rather than opposition during this crucial diplomatic mission.
Delegations’ Diplomatic Mission:
These delegations, led by influential leaders from various political parties, are set to visit 32 countries starting May 23. This outreach forms a core component of India’s foreign policy to combat Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and promote its security agenda globally.
