NEW DELHI: A senior leader from the Trinamool Congress stated on Sunday that foreign policy falls within the purview of the Union government, which should bear complete accountability for such matters and claimed that their chosen MP Yusuf Pathan will not be attending the all-party delegation on Operation Sindoor.A government initiative to dispatch seven all-party delegations to vital partner nations, including UN Security Council members, was taken following the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor.Whilst TMC leader Sudip Bandyopadhyay declined participation citing health concerns, TMC MP Yusuf Pathan, whose name appeared on the list, will also not attend, according to PTI.The delegations, comprising 51 political leaders, parliamentarians and former ministers from various parties, will visit international capitals to demonstrate India’s firm stance against terrorism, particularly in light of Operation Sindoor.The delegations, headed by Baijayant Panda, Ravi Shankar Prasad (both BJP), Sanjay Kumar Jha (JDU), Shrikant Shinde (Shiv Sena), Shashi Tharoor (Congress), Kanimozhi (DMK) and Supriya Sule (NCP-SP), will visit 32 countries and the EU headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.The delegations include seven or eight political leaders each, supported by former diplomats. Among the 51 political leaders, 31 represent the ruling NDA coalition, whilst 20 are from non-NDA parties.The TMC leader told PTI, “We believe that the nation is above all, and we pledged our support to the Union government to take whatever action needed to protect our great nation. Our armed forces have made our nation proud and we are forever indebted to them.”He further said, “Foreign policy is entirely within the domain of the Union government. Therefore, let only the Union government decide our foreign policy and take complete responsibility for it.”
