The Trinamool Congress has nominated its national general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee, to represent the party in the all-party Operation Sindoor delegation after MP Yusuf Pathan opted out. The delegation is part of India's global outreach against terrorism. The move follows TMC’s objection to the Centre’s unilateral selection of delegates without consulting the party. Mamata Banerjee emphasized that the party, not the Centre, should decide its representative. Abhishek Banerjee reiterated support for the national interest but asserted the party's autonomy in nominations. Operation Sindoor involves global visits to counter terrorism narratives and build international support. (PC: India Today)
