A delegation from Indian MPs arrived in New York on Tuesday to represent India’s attitude during the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). The first group of the unofficial delegation is led by the Bharatiya Janat Party (BJP) MP and chairman of the Joint Parliamentary Committee on One Nation One election, pp Chaudhary. This group, which consists of 15 MPs from various political parties, is in New York from October 8 to 14. A second group of 15 MPs is scheduled to attend the UNGA at the end of October. The delegations will represent a wide range of political parties, showing India’s commitment to dual participation in world forums. According to official releases, the unofficial delegation enables MPs to attend UN sessions, working with the permanent mission of India and presenting India’s democratic voice on international issues. The initiative reflects India’s growing global role and the importance it puts on parliamentary diplomacy. Rajeev Rai, Member of Parliament of the Samajwadi party, said the ‘non -official’ delegation includes members of various political parties, ensuring a balanced representation of India’s parliamentary diversity. The first group includes PP Chaudhary (leader), Anil Baluni, Captain Brijesh Chowta, Nishikant Dubey, Ujjwal Deorao Nikam, S Phangnon Konyak, Dr Medha Vishram Kulkarni, Poonam Ben Maadam, Vamsi Krishna Gaddam, Viveek Tankha, Dr T Sumaty, Sribhy, Mathukumilli, Kumari Selja, NK Premachandran, and Rajeev Rai. The second group will include D Purandeswari, Vishnu Datt Sharma, Bhola Singh, Dilip Saikia, Saumitra Khan, Relha Sharma, SAJDA Ahmed, P. Wilson, PV Mithun Reddy, Indra hangs subba, Joyanta Basumatary, Sandeep Kumar Pathak, Niranjan, Manoj Kumar Jha. The UNGA is the most important decision -making and representative body of the United Nations, where all 193 member states have equal participation. It discusses global issues, makes decisions and oversees subsidiary bodies that deal with specific international challenges. India has a long history of sending parliamentary delegations to the UNGA, a practice that stopped in 2004. In the past, senior leaders such as LK Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee represented India on the forum. (With ani inputs)
