Abhishek Banerjee, national general secretary of the Trinamool Congress and a Lok Sabha MP, has been designated to represent his party in multi-party delegations traveling abroad to articulate India's post-Operation Sindoor position.

This comes after Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju reached out to Trinamool leader Mamata Banerjee to discuss delegation nominations. Banerjee's nomination reinforces India's dedication to opposing terrorism on a global stage.

Initially, former cricketer Yusuf Pathan was included in the delegation. However, he later withdrew. The delegations aim to visit 32 countries and the EU headquarters in Brussels to engage in diplomatic dialogues.
