Highlighting India’s fight against cross-border terrorism, JD (U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha said on Friday that all-party delegations are visiting various countries of the world to make the global community aware of Pakistan-provided terrorism.
Jha was interacting with Ambassadors and Diplomats of Brazil, Australia, Colombia, Greece and South Korea in Tokyo, Japan.
Janata Dal (United) MPs, who are leading one of the seven all-party delegations, insisted that India is a victim of terrorism today, and it can be another country in the future.
Pointing to Islamabad’s involvement in cross -border terrorism, he further mentioned that Pakistan’s terrorists fund, train them and send them to India.
“We are going to different countries to make the world aware of the fact that it is India today and tomorrow you can be. So there is not a fence-site. The fight against terrorism is for everyone. We are representing our people; we are going to tell about terrorism across the border of Pakistan across the world.
He said, “Every terrorist activity in the world has some or other links in Pakistan, so this time our Prime Minister has also said that this is a new normal. It is enough … If anything happens to our citizens, we will come back; we will retaliate,” he said.
In the context of the relationship of his home state of Bihar with Buddhism, Jha said, “I come from the state of Bihar, where Buddhism is born. Buddhism is for ‘Ahimsa’ – for peace.”
