Parliament Monsoon Session Highlights: 'Op Sindoor was successful, but...': Chidambaram in Rajya Sabha

Leaders in both of Houses of Parliament on Tuesday kept their focus on the April 22 Pahalgam attack, Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev. Here are top highlights of the day:

Union Home Minister Amit Shah began the debate in Lok Sabha with details on Operation Mahadev, an operation in J&K which neutralised three terrorists linked to the Pahalgam attack. He also lashed out the Congress for leader P Chidambaram seeking proof that the terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack were from Pakistan.

Later, Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav began his address, and questioned the timing of Op Mahadev. He also called Operation Sindoor a symbol of government's intelligence failure. “Who will take responsibility for 'intelligence lapse' in Pahalgam attack,” Akhilesh said in Lok Sabha.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi attacked the government over the Pahalgam attack, questioning why there were no security personnel present when the deadly attack took place in the valley. “Yesterday, the Defence Minister spoke for an hour, during which he spoke about terrorism, protecting the country, and also gave a history lesson. But one thing was left out- How did this attack happen?” she asked.

Later, LoP Rahul Gandhi addressed Lok Sabha. He questioned why Pakistan was informed of the Operation Sindoor strikes minutes after they took place. “You went into Pakistan, and you told our pilots not to attack their air defence. It was bound that the aircraft would be downed. You tied the hands of our pilots,” Rahul Gandhi said. He also urged PM Modi to call Trump a "liar" over his India-Pak conflict ceasefire claim, that India has rejected multiple times.

In the evening, PM Modi began his address to Lok Sabha, starting with heaping praise on Operation Sindoor. He said "April 22 was avenged in 22 minutes", lauding the armed forces for dealing a blow to terror infrastructure in Pak and POK. He also lashed out at the Opposition for questioning the timing of Op Mahadev, and also slammed Congress for "being dependent on Pakistan for issues".
