Parliament Monsoon Session Highlights: A special debate on ‘Operation Sindoor’ began in the Lok Sabha on Monday, with defence minister Rajnath Singh delivering the opening remarks in Parliament and warning Pakistan that strikes will resume if it resorts to any misadventure. Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the speeches given by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar during the debate. PM Modi said that Singh had given “an insightful perspective on the success of India’s security apparatus and the courage of our armed forces.”...Read More

The Prime Minister also shared Jaishankar's speech on X, while calling it “outstanding”. “He highlighted how the world has clearly heard India’s perspective on fighting the menace of terrorism through Operation Sindoor,” PM Modi said.

Operation Sindoor, which was launched on May 7, marks the India's response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives, mostly of tourists.

Rajnath Singh in Lok Sabha

Defence minister Rajnath Singh hailed the Indian armed forces for Operation Sindoor and noted that the Centre gave them full freedom to choose their targets. He said this was done because the operation's 'politico-military objective' was to punish Pakistan for waging a proxy war in the form of terrorism.
Rajnath Singh said that the objective of Operation Sindoor was not to start a war, but to force the adversary to bow down.
Rajnath Singh revealed in Lok Sabha that more than 100 terrorists were killed during Operation Sindoor in May. He said that the Indian armed forces' precision strikes hit nine terrorist infrastructure targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The defence minister also told the Parliament that India halted its military action against Pakistan in May as it achieved all its political and military objectives. "Saying that this operation was paused under any pressure is baseless and absolutely wrong. In my political life, I have always tried not to speak lies ever,” Singh said.

Operation Mahadev

In an anti-terror operation, named ‘Operation Mahadev ’, three terrorists have been killed in the Harwan area near Dachigam National Park in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar. Suleiman Shah, the mastermind of the Pahalgam terror attack, was among the terrorists killed during the ongoing operation, sources have said.

The Chinar Corps of the Indian Army said that the operation took place in the general area of Lidwas and was carried out by the Indian Army and J&K Police.

Agenda for Monday

A special debate on Operation Sindoor is underway, with both NDA and INDIA bloc leaders taking part in the discussion in Lok Sabha.
TDP leaders Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu and G.M. Harish Balayogi are set to participate in the debate, with the party allotted 30 minutes. From the Samajwadi Party, its chief Akhilesh Yadav and MP Rajiv Rai will also take part.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has announced that the debate on Operation Sindoor will last 16 hours in the Lok Sabha on July 28, and another 16 hours in the Rajya Sabha on July 29.
Opposition parties have been pushing for a focused discussion on both the Pahalgam attack and India’s military response. They have also demanded that the government respond to US President Donald Trump's repeated claims that he helped mediate a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
While the Opposition had been insisting on the Prime Minister’s presence during the debate, the discussion was delayed due to his foreign visit and disruptions in Parliament. The government clarified that the debate was not denied, only postponed.
Meanwhile, floor leaders of the INDIA bloc parties met on Monday morning to strategise for the second week of the Monsoon Session. The Lok Sabha will take up the Operation Sindoor discussion on Monday, followed by the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.
