All-party delegation in Liberia reaffirms India's stand against terrorism
The delegation reached the West African nation on May 31 for a three-day visit as part of India's global outreach to underscore its message of 'Zero Tolerance Against Terrorism'.
Monrovia, Jun 2 (PTI) An all-party delegation led by Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Eknath Shinde conveyed India's 'united' resolve to combat terrorism in 'all its forms and manifestations' during an interaction with the Indian community in Liberia.
During an interaction with the Indian community here on Sunday, the delegation conveyed 'India's united national sentiment and collective political will to combat terrorism in all its forms and support received from international community in this endeavour,' the Indian embassy in Liberia said in a post on X.
Delegation members also appreciated the diaspora's role in 'strengthening India's friendship with Liberia and upholding Indian values abroad,' it said.
Earlier in the day, the all-party group also paid floral tributes at the grave of former President William V S Tubman, 'fondly remembered as the 'Father of Modern Liberia', at the National Museum of Liberia,' according to a press release by the Ministry of External Affairs.
'The visit to the National Museum, which is a powerful symbol of resilience and rich heritage of Liberia, reaffirmed India's solidarity with the people of Liberia and India's firm commitment to uphold peace and security globally,' it said.
On its arrival in Monrovia on May 31, the delegation was received by the Indian Ambassador to Liberia Manoj Bihari Verma, senior politicians and members of the diaspora.
'The warm reception and high-level presence reflected Liberia's strong solidarity with India – particularly in the wake of the cowardly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, India,' according to the press release.
Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the Pahalgam terror attack, with India carrying out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7.
Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9, and 10. The Indian side responded strongly to the Pakistani actions.
The on-ground hostilities ended with an understanding of stopping the military actions following talks between the directors general of military operations of both sides on May 10. PTI GRS GRS GRS

‘Tujhe pata hai mera baap kaun hai': Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi admits pulling power card during student days
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, son of former Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, admitted that, as a student, he once used a well-known phrase—asking a cop in Delhi whether they knew who his father was. However, it didn't work out, as he believes he was from North East. 'You know the Delhi phrase, 'Tujhe pata hai mera baap kaun hai?' I used it once. But it didn't work—because I was from Assam," Gogoi revealed during an India Today podcast. He stated that the name didn't have the same significance in Delhi, explaining, 'People in Delhi don't really know where the North East is. If I was from Delhi, maybe there would've been some 'respect'.' Gogoi noted he has deliberately refrained from using his father's name to his advantage. He said, 'People who know me know I've never fronted my father's background" and emphasised his desire to be evaluated based on his own achievements rather than his family ties. 'There's a different kind of attention or treatment that comes when people find out who your father is. So I would just say he works in government. And when people would press to know more, I would block the question. I wanted to create my own identity," India Today quoted him as saying. The discussion also delved into Delhi's elite circles, where the children of politicians and bureaucrats are often labelled 'baba log,' a term associated with inherited privilege. Gaurav Gogoi, however, recalled a different experience. He shared, 'I used to naively say 'No, I don't know him' when people brought up my dad, because I genuinely wanted to keep that separation.' He stressed while he bears the legacy of a respected leader, he chooses to create his own path, guided not by his family name, but by his actions. Meanwhile, as per PTI sources, the party's Deputy Leader in the House, Gogoi, is likely to lead the opposition party's charge on the first day of the debate in Parliament as Monsoon session continues. The two sides have agreed to a 16-hour debate in each House.
