The delegation will also visit Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Algeria, to showcase India's continued fight against terrorism.

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, during the interaction of Indian Community in Japan with the all-party delegation, Congress leader Salman Khurshid said:

"Our resolution is against terrorism and to end terrorism...

The Pakistani Army Chief at that time has now promoted himself as the Field Marshal...In 1947, we had two paths. In the first path, we decided that we would all live together, and we would make a country where everyone would stay together and call it Bharatvarsh...

Someone else made a country only in the name of religion. In a few years, it was proven that countries are not made in the name of religion. 

India had a huge contribution to the formation of Bangladesh...

There are two different ideologies, one ideology which is collective and inclusive and the other one in which they are not able to live with each other..."

During the interaction of Indian Community in Japan with the all-party delegation, BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi says, 

"... We are here to tell you that we are not just heartbroken but we are also angry... Anger and dissatisfaction are significant in this fight against terror... We aim to create a public opinion in the entire world against terrorism. 

We will not be able to end terrorism until there is a sentiment of anger... 140 crore Indians have to stand together against terrorism and Pakistan... 

We have to argue with facts and figures... After Article 370 and 35A were removed, development began in J&K... 

This peace and development were not acceptable, and that is why Pakistan is trying to spread terrorism... Terror organisations are not just born in Pakistan but are also nurtured there..."

Congress MP Manish Tewari, who is a part of the all-party delegation which will visit Egypt, Qatar, Ethiopia and South Africa, says, 

"In the last 45 years, Pakistan has been encouraging terrorism against India... 

They train terrorists, give them weapons and send them across the border to spread terrorism in India. To expose this, all of us are going to various countries, and our effort would be to present the truth in front of the world regarding the instability created in South Asia by Pakistan...".
