Setting the Scene In the wake of the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir in April 2025, the Government of India launched what it called a "Political Mission" on the global stage. At the centre of this initiative was the deployment of high-level all-party delegations to key capitals. This practice, referred to here as delegation diplomacy, involved briefing host governments on India’s account of the incident, the alleged role of The Resistance Front (TRF), and Pakistan’s purported complicity in cross-border terrorism. According to official briefings, the aim was not limited to strategic messaging. It was the projection of a legal narrative designed to present India as a state under siege and to frame Pakistan as a violator of international norms.
