As part of Operation Sindoor, a high-level seven-member Indian parliamentary delegation is touring multiple countries to expose Pakistan’s support for terrorism on the global stage. The team, headed by Sanjay Kumar Jha, is visiting Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore as part of India’s diplomatic offensive. During the delegation’s stop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, CPI(M) MP Dr. John Brittas made bold remarks about the current political scenario in Pakistan.

Speaking at an event with the Indian diaspora in Malaysia, Dr. Brittas did not hold back while commenting on the deteriorating democratic setup in Pakistan. He said, “Pakistan has now become a nation under complete military control. The Army Chief, Asim Munir, has even declared himself as Field Marshal. This kind of self-declaration only happens in unstable, banana republics.”

Pakistan's Theocratic Rule vs. India’s Secular Democracy

In his address, Dr. Brittas drew a stark contrast between India and Pakistan, stating that India is a secular democracy, whereas Pakistan is a theocratic state. He emphasized that Pakistan no longer has a functioning civilian administration, with the military firmly in control of governance.

The CPI(M) MP also said that one of the goals of this diplomatic tour is to inform international communities that turning a blind eye to terrorism is dangerous. “Countries should not remain neutral or silent when terrorism impacts India or any other nation, because it ultimately backfires on those who support or ignore it,” he added.

India’s Stand on Nuclear Weapons and Peaceful Coexistence

Dr. Brittas also underlined India’s commitment to peace, highlighting the country’s “No First Use” nuclear policy. He noted, “India is the only nuclear power that has officially adopted a policy of not using nuclear weapons first. Despite continuous provocations, every Indian government has made genuine efforts to maintain peace and extend a hand of friendship to Pakistan.”

This statement was well-received by the Indian community present at the event, who appreciated the delegation's transparency and direct communication.

Global Support Against Terrorism Growing

Prior to visiting Malaysia, the delegation had traveled to Indonesia, where they engaged in high-level talks with Indonesian officials. During their interactions, the delegation expressed India’s growing concerns regarding cross-border terrorism, primarily originating from Pakistan. The Indonesian government reportedly acknowledged India's concerns and assured support in global anti-terror efforts.

Operation Sindoor: India's Global Mission

The visit is a key part of Operation Sindoor, a diplomatic initiative designed to inform world capitals about the real situation in Pakistan—especially its military-dominated politics and state-sponsored terrorism. Through these visits, India aims to build a global consensus against countries that harbor or support terrorism.

As the delegation continues its tour across 33 global capitals, the focus remains on exposing Pakistan’s internal instability, securing international solidarity against terrorism, and showcasing India’s commitment to peace and coexistence.
