Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha has said that Operation Sindoor was not just a military strike, but India's message that it will never shy away from defending its people.

The Rajya Sabha MP, while speaking at the Asian Leadership Conference in South Korea, spoke of the success of Operation Sindoor and called for a united global front against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

"India does not seek conflict, but will never shy away from defending its people,” Raghav Chadha said while addressing the Asian Leadership Conference—Asia's premier global forum dubbed the "Davos of the East."

Hailing the anti-terror operation as proof that India can strike deep and dismantle terror safe havens, he said, "Zero tolerance is India’s new doctrine."

Raghav Chadha spoke on the Pahalgam terror attack, which led to the death of 26 people in Jammu and Kashmir. 

"India, for the last several weeks, has been mourning the tragic loss of 26 innocent civilians who were brutally killed in a terrorist attack in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, in a place called Pahalgam. But even as we mourn these lives lost, India has emerged as a decisive, resolute nation, demonstrating a paradigm shift in the way we deal with terrorists, terror infrastructure, and rogue nations," he said.

Chadha asserted that India stands for peace, however, adding that if anyone tries to disturb the peace within the country and causing injury, the country we will not spare the terror infrastructure.

Lauding the Operation Sindoor, carried out by the Indian armed forces earlier this month, he said that through the cross-border strikes, terror infrastructure across the border was destroyed.

“What the Indian government and the Indian armed forces demonstrated through the military operation called Operation Sindoor is that we stand for peace. But if anyone attempts to disturb the peace within our country—causing injury or death to our people—we will not spare the terror infrastructure, wherever it may be. Accordingly, cross-border strikes were carried out, and as a result, terror infrastructure across the border was destroyed," he said.

He also called for a global alliance against terrorism and build a united global front against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

"I believe this is the right forum to call for the organisation of a global alliance to ensure that the world becomes free from terror and that no safe havens exist for terrorist infrastructure. That, I believe, is the message that has gone out loud and clear from Operation Sindoor and other military operations," he said.

Chadha was invited to deliver keynote at Asia’s premier leadership forum alongside 320 global leaders and 2,500 delegates in Seoul.

The Rajya Sabha MP was invited to serve as a distinguished keynote speaker at the prestigious Asian Leadership Conference (ALC) 2025, scheduled to take place on May 21-22 in Seoul, South Korea.
