Wrong to claim India halted Operation Sindoor under pressure, Rajnath Singh tells Parliament
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh told Parliament on Monday that it was ' absolutely wrong ' to claim that India halted Operation Sindoor under any pressure. Opening a 16-hour debate in the Lok Sabha on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, Singh said that India decided to pause its action against the terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as it had achieved its political and military objectives. The defence minister also said that nine terror camps were destroyed at the start of the operation of May 7, and that India has proof of damage caused inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Singh said that the operation on May 7 lasted 22 minutes and was 'non-escalatory' in nature. He added that the armed forces had taken all precautions to avoid civilian casualties. 'Before executing Operation Sindoor, our forces studied every aspect and chose the option that would cause maximum damage to terrorists, while ensuring no harm to innocent civilians,' he said. Singh said that while the Opposition had questioned the government's claims, they had not once asked how many Pakistani aircraft had been shot down. 'I believe these questions do not reflect national sentiments,' he said. 'Their question should be whether India destroyed terror bases, and whether Operation Sindoor has been a success,' the defence minister said. 'The answer is yes. They should ask whether any of our brave soldiers have been harmed in the operation. The answer is no.' Tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad escalated on May 7 when the Indian military carried out strikes – codenamed Operation Sindoor – on what it claimed were terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The strikes were in response to the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which killed 26 persons on April 22. The Pakistan Army retaliated to Indian strikes by repeatedly shelling Indian villages along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. At least 22 Indian civilians and eight defence personnel were killed in the shelling. India and Pakistan on May 10 reached an 'understanding' to halt firing following the four-day conflict.

'Defence minister spoke a lot, but didn't answer…': Congress MP Gogoi on Pahalgam attack in Op Sindoor debate
Speaking right after defence minister Rajnath Singh shared details of how India carried out Operation Sindoor against Pakistan after a terror attack in Pahalgam, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi accused him of not addressing core questions. Deputy Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi at Parliament in New Delhi on Monday.(Jitender Gupta/ANI) 'This is the age of war of information. The honourable minister spoke a lot, but did not answer how the terrorists could reach Pahalgam at all, and managed to slaughter 26 people there,' Gogoi, deputy leader if the Congress in the Lok Sabha, said. Also read | Monsoon session live from Lok Sabha He said the Opposition had sought the special debate on Operation Sindoor 'precisely to ask these questions'. Gogoi said the government must take responsibility, and not "hide behind" Jammu and Kashmir lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha, who recently took 'moral responsibility' for what he called a 'security failure'. Gogoi started his speech by saying that 'certain forces were at work to spread wrong information' after the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. He also said Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered 'political speeches' in Bihar, after completing his ongoing Saudi Arabia trip at the time of the Pahalgam attack, 'rather than visit the affected region immediately'. 'Only our leader Rahul Gandhi went there to meet people who were affected,' he said, as ruling alliance members sought to shout him down. Earlier, starting the debate, minister Rajnath Singh equated India's action with Lord Hanuman's burning of Ravan's Lanka in the Hindu epic Ramayan. Rajnath Singh, giving details of the operation, stressed that India had acted in self-defence and in retaliation after three armed terrorists killed 26 men in Pahalgam, a tourist destination in Jammu and Kashmir. Operation Sindoor was launched in the early hours of May 7, specifically between 1:05 and 1:30 am. The operation involved missile strikes on nine terrorist targets, the government said.
