New Delhi, July 30 (NationPress) The Monsoon Session of Parliament is set to recommence on Wednesday at 11 a.m. in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
This resumption follows an earlier adjournment due to a heated and high-stakes debate regarding the recently concluded Operation Sindoor, a military response to the terror attack in Pahalgam.
During Tuesday’s session, there were intense exchanges and strong political rhetoric from both the ruling party and the opposition.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the Armed Forces for their rapid response under Operation Sindoor, stating, “This is the new normal,” as he highlighted India’s resolute position against cross-border terrorism. He asserted that global powers were not dictating India's response, declaring, “I informed the US Vice President that if Pakistan attacks India, our retaliation would be significantly greater as we will respond to bullets with cannons.”
He also mentioned that no international leader had requested India to halt the operation, further indicating a strong and independent approach to national security.
Opposition Leader in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, criticized the government for allegedly lacking the “political will” to grant full operational autonomy to the Armed Forces. “Aircraft were lost due to political constraints that prevented attacks on Pakistan's military and air defense infrastructure,” he stated, suggesting that New Delhi had informed Pakistan in advance that its military infrastructure would not be targeted during the strikes.
Priyanka Gandhi also contributed to the discussion in the Lower House, voicing similar concerns regarding strategic limitations. In the Rajya Sabha, Opposition Leader Mallikarjun Kharge and former Home Minister P. Chidambaram added further insights to the ongoing debate.
As both Houses prepare to reconvene today, the political atmosphere remains charged, with further discussions on national security and strategic policy expected to be at the forefront of the agenda.
