The delegation will include Rajya Sabha members Derek O'Brien, Md. Nadimul Haque, Sagorika Ghose and Mamata Thakur, and Bengal water minister Manas Ranjan Bhunia.

“The delegation comprising @derekobrienmp @MdNadimulHaque6 @ManasB_Official @sagarikaghose and Mamata Thakur, will be in the region from May 21 to 23 to express solidarity with the people affected by cross-border attacks, and share the grief of the families who have lost their loved ones,” the Trinamool said.

“A journey of empathy, of sympathy and solidarity. @AITCofficial will be travelling to the border villages of J & K where people from ALL communities have suffered great losses. Let’s rebuild lives, in harmony TOGETHER. #PoonchChalo.”
