During their series of meetings in Athens, Greece, an all-party delegation led by DMK MP Kanimozhi secured strong support from the Greek government in India’s fight against terrorism, said sources. Greece endorsed India’s boycott of countries like Turkey, which had supplied arms and ammunition to Pakistan for its terror activities, they added. Greece and Turkey have a complex relationship due to historical and territorial conflicts.

The Kanimozhi-led team also includes Rajeev Rai (Samajwadi Party), Mian Altaf Ahmad (Jammu and Kashmir National Conference), Brijesh Chowta (BJP), Prem Chand Gupta (Rashtriya Janata Dal), Ashok Kumar Mittal (Aam Aadmi Party), and former envoys Manjeev S Puri and Jawed Ashraf as part of a diplomatic outreach to highlight India’s stance on terrorism.

Sources indicated that Greece welcomed New Delhi’s boycott of countries aiding terrorism against India. It also expressed condolences for the Indian lives lost in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and supported India’s response. Greece assured India of its solidarity in exposing Pakistan’s support for terrorism on global platforms, said sources.

During its stay, the Indian delegation interacted with Greek authorities and think tanks, discussing the history of India and Pakistan, the Pahalgam terror attack, and Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror hubs in Pakistan. It explained why the operation is currently halted and incomplete.

Rajeev Rai from the Samajwadi Party took to social media platform X to express gratitude for Greece’s support, highlighting the unity among Indian political parties on this issue. He asked whom India should negotiate with in Pakistan, citing the involvement of the Pakistani government and military in supporting terrorism. Rai reminded the delegation of historical attacks on India by Pakistan, including Kargil and attacks on the Indian Parliament, Akshardham, Pathankot, and Uri.

The delegation’s trip began in Russia, followed by visits to Slovenia and Greece. Its next destination is Riga, Latvia, with the final stop in Madrid, Spain. The team is scheduled to return to India in the first week of June.
