00:00To come back to India after 14 days is in itself a great source of happiness.
00:07My country is my country, so once you touch your soil you are extremely happy.
00:12But I can only say that we had gone to five countries and we met different segments of population in each country.
00:19We met the politicians, we met the bureaucrats, we met the think tank members,
00:23we met the community associations, we met the housewives, we met the youth.
00:28And everywhere, in fact, there was great appreciation for this concept of multi-party delegation.
00:36That the Indian government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, could send a multi-party delegation,
00:42was accepted by one and all, was appreciated by one and all, and they heard us at length.
00:48Everywhere we went to, all the five countries we went to, all the segments of population heard us at length.
00:53The Indian diaspora was there with us all through.
00:55And it was heartening to find that everybody appreciated the stand of India on cross-border terrorism.
01:03And they all came forward to denounce the approach of Pakistan as far as creating unrest in India is concerned,
01:13as far as killing of innocent people are concerned.
01:15So I think everybody agreed to the fact that Pakistan nourishes, nurtures and promotes terrorism.
01:22So I think the objective with which we had gone, in a way, it has been fulfilled.
01:29People have got to know in different countries what is new normal,
01:33which has been prescribed by the Prime Minister and his government.
01:37And the zero-tolerance policy of India has also been accepted by all.
01:42So it was, I would say, a very satisfying experience for us.
01:46A special session of Parliament should be called to brief out upon the Operation Sindhu
01:49and the heinous incident which took place out in Pahalgam and their training areas, ma'am.
01:54I must say that there were 59 persons in seven delegations and we had gone to 33 countries.
02:05Now out of these 59 persons, 51 persons were MPs from different political parties.
02:10Only around 20 out of 51 belong to BJP.
02:14So I think already different political parties have got representation in the delegation.
02:21So I don't think there is any need for a special session of Parliament.
02:24But of course the senior leaders of the setup will decide.
02:29I will not be able to comment on it.
02:31But I can only say that there is no need for it.
02:33We would be going for the monsoon session of Parliament very soon.
02:36And I think that time all discussions will take place.
