India's Anti-Terror Outreach Criticized Amidst Political Debate
India sent delegations to other countries to talk about its stance against terrorism.
Some politicians, like Prithviraj Chavan, think it didn't work well, saying it lacked impact.
They say the delegations didn't meet important people and didn't get much media attention.
The BJP, another political party, disagrees, saying the criticism helps Pakistan.
They argue that the delegations followed protocol and were a good effort.
Another politician, Sharad Pawar, is worried about India's relationships with its neighbors.
Despite the criticism, the Prime Minister supports the outreach effort.
Opposition leaders criticize India's anti-terror outreach to other countries.
Prithviraj Chavan claims the outreach 'lacked meaningful engagement' and failed to create an international impact.
BJP accuses opposition of demoralizing forces and 'feeding Pakistan's narrative'.
Sharad Pawar criticizes India's deteriorating relations with its neighbors.
PM Modi defends the outreach, saying it sent a 'big message'.
