Pakistan, May 17 -- Facing setbacks on both military and diplomatic fronts, the Modi government has decided to send a delegation of Indian Members of Parliament (MPs) abroad to explain India's position on the recent South Asian crisis, particularly after the failure of "Operation Sindur."

Indian MPs will visit several key countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, to justify India's stance amid rising criticism over its recent actions and its conflict with Pakistan.
