Doha: A multi-party Indian parliamentary delegation led by Lok Sabha MP Supriya Sule concluded its visit to Qatar, marking the end of the first leg of a four-nation diplomatic tour aimed at projecting India’s united stand against terrorism. According to a press release issued by the Embassy of India in Doha:

“Qatar was the first leg of the four-nation visit of the delegation planned following the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack, Operation Sindoor, and the subsequent developments.” During the two-day visit, the delegation held high-level meetings with key Qatari dignitaries, including:

• Mohamed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al Khulaifi, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs

The delegation also took part in a roundtable discussion with scholars and policy experts at the Middle East Council for Global Affairs, and met with editorial teams from major newspapers like Al Sharq and Peninsula.

A special community reception was held on May 26, where Indian expatriates expressed solidarity with India’s anti-terrorism efforts. India emphasised its “zero-tolerance policy towards cross-border terrorism”, stating that Operation Sindoor was a calibrated, targeted, and proportionate response, underlining India’s commitment to combating terrorism without escalating tensions.

The delegation called for an end to the differentiation between terrorists and their backers and highlighted the urgent need to dismantle cross-border terror infrastructure. The Qatari leadership reiterated its own zero-tolerance approach to terrorism and condemned the Pahalgam attack. The Indian side expressed gratitude to Qatar for its swift condemnation and diplomatic support. The press release recalled that: “Qatar MOFA had issued a statement on April 23 expressing strong condemnation of the attack in Pahalgam,” and that bilateral conversations were held between Amir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 6, followed by foreign ministers’ discussions on May 7.
