New Delhi, July 30 (NationPress) The Monsoon Session of Parliament is set to recommence on Wednesday at 11 a.m. for both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
This follows the adjournment of proceedings on Tuesday, which was marked by a vigorous and high-stakes debate surrounding the recently executed Operation Sindoor, a military response to the terror attack in Pahalgam.
The discussions on Tuesday were characterized by passionate exchanges and intense political rhetoric from both the ruling party and the opposition.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his address, commended the Armed Forces for their rapid response under Operation Sindoor. He stated, “This is the new normal,” highlighting India’s firm approach towards cross-border terrorism. He underscored that no global powers influenced India’s response, stating, “I informed the US Vice President that if Pakistan attacks India, our retaliation will be significantly greater as we will counter bullets with cannons.”
He also mentioned that no leader from the international community requested India to cease its operations, reflecting a strong, autonomous stance on national security.
Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, criticized the Centre for lacking the “political will” to grant full operational freedom to the Armed Forces. He claimed, “The aircraft were lost due to restrictions imposed by political leadership that prevented attacks on military and air defense infrastructure in Pakistan,” alleging that New Delhi had pre-informed Pakistan about not targeting its military infrastructure during the strikes.
Priyanka Gandhi also engaged in the debate in the Lower House, voicing similar concerns regarding strategic limitations. In the Rajya Sabha, Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge and former Home Minister P. Chidambaram contributed to the discussion, enriching the ongoing dialogue.
With both Houses preparing to reconvene today, the political atmosphere remains charged, and further conversations on national security and strategic decision-making are anticipated to take center stage.
