7 Delegation Travelled Abroad In Name Of Op Sindoor Delegation - 100 Crores Indian Tax Payers Money Spent - What For?
The Operation Sindoor delegation, involving 7 groups of 55 Members of parliament across 33 countries, was touted as a significant diplomatic outreach effort aimed at building international consensus against cross-data-border terrorism, particularly emanating from Pakistan. With an estimated ₹100 crore spent from the public exchequer, indian citizens have every right to demand transparency and measurable outcomes. Grand international tours, lavish receptions, and diplomatic engagements may look impressive on paper, but they must ultimately be judged by tangible results—especially when public money is involved.
One of the core objectives of the operation was reportedly to mobilize global opinion and build pressure against pakistan for its alleged role in fostering terrorism in the region. Yet, the critical question remains: how many of the 33 countries visited by indian MPs came forward to publicly condemn Pakistan? So far, there has been no significant increase in international denunciation or shift in policy toward pakistan on this issue. In fact, many countries continue to maintain a balanced diplomatic stance between the two nations. Without a strong and unified international statement, the core aim of the operation seems largely unmet.
Furthermore, the broader goal of bolstering India's diplomatic image and rallying international support requires clear metrics—such as public endorsements, signed agreements, joint statements, or resolutions. The government owes the public a report card: What was achieved in return for ₹100 crore? Were there concrete outcomes like enhanced counter-terrorism cooperation, trade partnerships, or global platform endorsements? Without such accountability, the initiative risks being perceived as another high-budget PR exercise rather than a strategic success. In a democracy, fiscal responsibility and transparency in foreign policy are not optional—they are essential.
