New Delhi: The day after Parliament completed the debate on the Pahalgam terrorist attack and Operation Sindoor, the opposition resumed its protest in the Lok Sabha on Thursday against the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, stalling the proceedings and forcing multiple adjournments. With the opposition's political focus turning to the upcoming assembly election in Bihar, the protest against SIR may cast its shadow on the remaining monsoon session of Parliament. As soon as the House assembled in the morning, the MPs belonging to the opposition INDIA bloc started protesting by demanding a discussion on the SIR and calling for the withdrawal of the Election Commission's drive in Bihar.

Govt's prerogative who replies: Nadda defends PM Modi's absence in Rajya Sabha Operation Sindoor debate
New Delhi: Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha , JP Nadda , countered the Opposition's criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi not replying to the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Upper House, as he had done in the Lok Sabha. Nadda underlined that it is the government's prerogative to decide which minister will reply to a debate, and cited a precedent from the erstwhile UPA dispensation to buttress his argument. Making a suo motu statement in the House, Nadda said, "Yesterday, after a long discussion on Operation Sindoor, some of the Opposition members staged a walkout when the Home Minister commenced his reply. In this regard, I draw the attention of members to the proceedings of both Houses in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai in December (sic) 2008."

This led to protests and a walkout by the Opposition, which wanted to corner the PM on US President Donald Trump's controversial statements on ceasefire and tariffs. Clearing the air on the issue, Nadda referred to the debate on the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. "It is a matter of record that discussions took place in both Houses on the statement made on behalf of the Ministry of Home Affairs... In the Lok Sabha, the then Home Minister, P Chidambaram, and the Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) replied to the debate... And in the Rajya Sabha, the then Minister of Home Affairs, Chidambaram, replied to the discussion," he said. Live Events The Leader of the House informed members that this issue had been discussed in the last Business Advisory Committee, and the Chair had made it clear there, as well as in the House, that "it is the prerogative of the Government to decide which Minister should speak and reply to the discussion in the House". Nadda said that while the Opposition had sought a discussion on Operation Sindoor and wanted to "elicit information from the Government", when the opportunity came, they walked out instead of hearing the Home Minister. "Therefore, the demand of the Opposition parties yesterday was clearly misplaced and displays a double standard. Given the precedent I quoted just now about the discussions in both Houses on the Mumbai terror attack," Nadda said. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Malegaon verdict shuts ‘Hindu terror' narrative: Dayashankar Tiwari
Nagpur: BJP city president Dayashankar Tiwari on Thursday welcomed the NIA court's acquittal of all accused in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case, calling it a "resounding slap" on the Congress party 's alleged attempt to malign the Hindu community through what he termed a "fake narrative of Hindu terrorism." "The court has delivered a clear message: Hindus can never be terrorists," Tiwari said. "The conspiracy to frame seven Hindu nationalists in the Malegaon case was a calculated move to appease minorities and vilify the Hindu society. The judgment exposed that design," he added. Among those initially charged were Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Lt Col Prasad Purohit, Ramesh Upadhyay, Ajay Rahirkar, Sudhakar Chaturvedi, Sameer Kulkarni, and Sudhakar Dwivedi. Tiwari claimed the accused were subjected to "inhuman torture" under Congress-led govts to extract confessions and push the "Hindu terror" theory. Referring to recent comments by Congress MP Praniti Shinde describing Operation Sindoor as a "farce", Tiwari accused the party of insulting the memory of innocent Indians killed by Pakistani terrorists. "While our soldiers laid down their lives, Congress was trying to give Pakistan a clean chit," he said.
