A special discussion on ‘Operation Sindoor’ is all set to finally happen today at noon. The opposition, since the very first day of the Monsoon Session, has been demanding a discussion on this.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will lead the discussion on the response India gave to Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. A fierce debate is expected, as the opposition has been staging protests for long. ‘Operation Sindoor’ has been listed in the Lok Sabha business for Monday.
On April 22, 26 Indian civilians were brutally killed in Pahalgam, J&K, after which India retaliated against Pakistan and PoK (Pakistan-occupied Kashmir), destroying its terrorist camps. Since July 21, the start of the Monsoon Session, the Parliament has seen several adjournments as the opposition has aggressively demanded a discussion on the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor, and the ongoing SIR (Special Intensive Revision) exercise by the Election Commission in Bihar.
Additionally, the opposition has demanded a response from Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the claims of the United States initiating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. The Monsoon Session began amidst turmoil, including the unexpected resignation of then Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. Operation Sindoor has been central to the disruptions caused by the opposition in Parliament.
Responding to the demand, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju stated that a 16-hour discussion will take place on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha on July 28, and a similar 16-hour discussion will be held in the Rajya Sabha on July 29.
Rijiju told reporters, “All issues cannot be discussed together… The opposition has raised several issues, like the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar and others. We have told them that Operation Sindoor will be discussed first. We will decide which issues to discuss after that. Operation Sindoor will be debated for 16 hours in the Lok Sabha on Monday and for 16 hours in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.”
