Tokyo [Japan], May 23 (ANI): Congress leader Salman Khurshid asserted that the response has been 'very' satisfying from the global community and there is unqualified support for India in its fight against terrorism during Operation Sindoor global outreach.

Speaking to ANI, Khurshid, who is part of the all-party delegation led by JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha, pointed out that foreign countries are fully sensitised to New Delhi's concern and are willing to support.

Stressing the future course of action in the coming times, he said, 'The response has been very satisfying...on (the fight against) terrorism, there is unqualified support for India...the question now is what is next...we need to see what the next step we can take...in countries we are visiting now, we want to make sure that they are fully sensitised to our concern and they are willing to support what is reasonable and viable in times to come...we hope that this will help us to plan out things in the future,' Khurshid said.

Further highlighting New Delhi's role in putting an end to the hostilities with Pakistan, Congress leader Khurshid said that Islamabad still needs to do a lot of things to convince India that they intend to do the right thing in the future.

'We stepped in and accepted the offer to end the hostilities but the future is unclear, both for us and for them. What are the steps that we need to take in the future? There is still something more that needs to be done by Pakistan to ensure that they can convince us that they now intend to do the right thing,' he added.

'We have only laid the ground for future cooperation that we can get from countries like Japan. With their empathy and sympathy having been expressed, we will have to do more on this as things unfold,' the Former External Affairs Minister added.
