Pakistan has rejected India’s allegations.“India has been hurt by an unprecedented attack on India’s soul, the attack that happened in Pahalgam, which has shaken every Indian,” said Supriya Sule, a parliamentarian from the opposition Nationalist Congress Party, who led the team of Indian MPs visiting Doha.

‘Preventive diplomacy’Her team is one of seven dispatched by the Modi government to more than 30 countries on an “outreach programme” to “sensitise” other governments on Pakistan’sto “terror groups” accused of carrying out several deadly attacks in Kashmir and other parts of India for decades. The delegations consist of MPs and retired diplomats.

Sule’s team landed in the Qatari capital on Saturday night and held discussions with the Gulf state’s officials for two days before heading to South Africa on Tuesday. The MPs will also visit Ethiopia and Egypt.Addressing reporters during a news conference held by the Indian delegation in a seaside hotel in Doha on Monday, Sule said their aim is to “create a global opinion” against Pakistan. She insisted there was “enough evidence” linking Pakistan to the Pahalgam killings, in which the attackers picked out men and then identified them by religion before shooting them dead.

The Pahalgam attack, the deadliest on tourists in the disputed Kashmir region in decades, was claimed by The Resistance Front (TRF), a relatively unknown group that Indian agencies say acts as a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a Pakistan-based armed group.

India accuses Pakistan of using groups like the LeT to support an armed secessionist movement in Indian-administered Kashmir. Multiple governments, including the United States and India, also accuse the LeT and other Pakistan-based armed groups of carrying out attacks in Indian cities, far from Kashmir.In Thailand, Disapong and Tanongsak say the Asian Art Museum’s decision to recognise Thailand’s rightful claim to the statues could also help them start bringing the rest of the Prakhon Chai hoard home, including 14 more known pieces in other museums around the US, and at least a half-dozen scattered across Europe and Australia.

“It is indeed a good example, because once we can show the world that the Prakhon Chai bronzes were all exported from Thailand illegally, then probably, hopefully some other museums will see that all the Prakhon Chai bronzes they have must be returned to Thailand as well,” Tanongsak said.There are several other artefacts besides the Prakhon Chai hoard that Thailand is also looking to repatriate from collections around the world, he said.

Davis said the repatriation of stolen antiquities is still being treated by too many with collections as an obstacle when it should be seen, as the Asian Art Museum has, as an opportunity.“It’s an opportunity to educate the public,” Davis said.
