“The Congressmen expressed unequivocal and bipartisan condemnation for the terror attack in Pahalgam,” the Embassy said in a post on X. “They expressed support for India’s right to respond to terrorism in the spirit of zero tolerance against terrorism.”
The India Caucus members also reaffirmed the strategic partnership between the two countries, describing it as strong and mutually beneficial.
The seven-member all-party Indian delegation, led by Tharoor—Chairperson of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs—includes MPs Bhubaneswar Kalita, Milind Murli Deora, Sarfraz Ahmad, Tejasvi Surya, Shashank Mani Tripathi, and Ganti Harish Madhur. Former Indian Ambassador to the U.S., Taranjit Singh Sandhu, is accompanying the delegation.
The visit to Washington, D.C. marks the final leg of the delegation’s multi-country outreach across the Americas. Prior to arriving in the U.S. capital, the team visited Guyana, Colombia, Panama, and Brazil, after a brief stopover in New York on May 24. There, the delegation paid tribute to victims of the 9/11 attacks at the National Sept. 11 Memorial & Museum.
The visit is part of India’s diplomatic outreach following the success of Operation Sindoor, with similar delegations having been dispatched to 35 countries to brief foreign governments and institutions on India’s counter-terrorism strategy.
