Jakarta [Indonesia], May 31 (ANI): Members of the Indian diaspora in Jakarta have lauded the multi-party Indian delegation for its unified stance and efforts in countering misinformation on the global stage.

'The best part of the delegation is that it involves members of all parties, which sends a message that India stands united in this challenging time. Looking at all the parties together is a proud moment for all of us. This effort was significant in telling the world about our action against terrorists,' said Hemant Mewada from Rajasthan, a member of the Indian diaspora in Jakarta.

Puneet Bakshi, another member of the Indian diaspora from Rajasthan, emphasised the importance of combating misinformation.

'Today, the war is not just of weapons but of information as well. It was very important for the Indian government to clarify the fake narrative being spread by Pakistan, and they have achieved their purpose through the delegation that has cleared all our doubts,' he stated.

On May 28, JD-U MP Sanjay Kumar Jha led the delegation that arrived in Jakarta as part of Operation Sindoor's global outreach.

The delegation, led by JD-U MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, includes Aparajita Sarangi (BJP), TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, Brij Lala (BJP), John Brittas (CPI-M), Pradan Baruah (BJP), Hemang Joshi (BJP), Salman Khurshid and Mohan Kumar.

As part of its Operation Sindoor outreach, on Friday, the delegation spent the second day of their visit engaging in high-level meetings with Indonesia's leading policy institutions and think tanks.
