India will not tolerate nuke blackmail: Sanjay Jha-led delegation in Singapore

SINGAPORE: The all-party parliamentary delegation, led by Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Jha, on Tuesday, conveyed that India will give a fitting reply if there is a terrorist attack on its soil and will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail.

During their meeting with Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Home Affairs of Singapore, the parliamentarians highlighted the importance of Operation Sindoor and the fight against Pakistan-sponsored cross-border terrorism.

Condemning all acts of terrorism, Sim Ann extended Singapore's support to India in the fight against terrorism. She further stated that Singapore and India are close partners and will continue efforts to further strengthen bilateral cooperation, according to the Indian High Commission in Singapore.

"The delegation members conveyed that the terrorist attack in Pahalgam was an attempt to disturb the trajectory of peace, development, and normalcy in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The Government of India deemed it essential that the perpetrators and planners of the April 22 terror attack be brought to justice. In response to this heinous act of terror, India launched Operation Sindoor, specifically targeted against the terrorist infrastructure. India's response was measured, non-escalatory, proportionate, and responsible," said the Indian High Commission in Singapore in a statement.

"The delegation members requested Singapore's support in the fight against terrorism, particularly at multilateral fora like the United Nations and Financial Action Task Force. As close friends and partners, India and Singapore will continue to work closely on regional and global issues, including on the issue of terrorism." the statement added.

Later in the day, the Jha-led delegation met with senior representatives from the Singaporean government, academia, media and businesses, briefing the interlocutors on the developments since the Pahalgam attack. (IANS)
