SRINAGAR: A five-member delegation, including four Members of Parliament (MPs) from the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), will visit Srinagar, Poonch and Rajouri from May 21 to May 23. The visit aims to express solidarity with those affected by recent cross-border attacks and to share the grief of families who lost their loved ones.
The delegation, formed under the guidance of AITC Chairperson and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, includes Derek O’Brien, Md Nadimul Haque, Sagarika Ghose and Mamata Thakur.
They will be joined by Dr Manas Bhunia, a senior leader and Minister in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly.
All members of the delegation are associated with the AITC, the ruling party in West Bengal since May 20, 2011, led by Mamata Banerjee.
