Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 19 (ANI): Congress leader Pramod Tiwari on Monday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party over all-party delegation nominations and said that BJP never comes out of its dirty acts and politics.

'India is a democratic country...in Parliamentary system, to form an all-party delegation, names are sought from the parties and those names given by parties are selected. BJP sought 4 names and we gave it...but you changed those names and selected people as your wish...BJP never comes out of its dirty acts, politics on everything. This was the issue of the nation,' Tiwari said.

Earlier today, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticised the government for omitting three of the names recommended by the party for the all-party delegation.

'This delegation is going for damage control. We have been saying that we need to stay united, and we are standing with our armed forces like a rock. We have said that Operation Sindoor is a historic operation, but PM Modi does not speak with the LoP or the Congress President. They ask us to give names. When we gave 4 names, they picked only one of them and added names on their own. What type of politics is this?' he added.

The all-party delegations will project India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all forms and manifestations. They would carry forth to the world the country's strong message of zero tolerance against terrorism.

According to Congress, the party had submitted four names to the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs by May 16, but the final list released late on May 17 included only one of the suggested names.

The list includes MPs from multiple parties, divided into seven groups of 8-9 members. A leader has been assigned for each group, who will lead the delegation at a global level.

This came after India's decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.
