‘Don't Break House's Property': Rahul Gandhi's Table Thump Gets Speaker's Warning
Rahul Gandhi criticised PM Modi for not objecting to Trump's lunch with Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir, accusing Modi of using armed forces for his image. Operation Sindoor Debate: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla was seen schooling Leader Of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday during the house proceedings. While speaking during the special discussion in the Lok Sabha on 'India's strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam," Rahul Gandhi expressed his frustration by banging the table while questioning the government's silence over US President Donald Trump inviting Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir for lunch. 'The man behind Pahalgam is a Pakistani general called Asim Munir (chief of Army staff). That man is having lunch with the US President. He is sitting there. Our PM cannot go there. Mr Trump is breaking all protocol. And he is inviting the man who has done terrorism with India to have lunch with him. PM Modi hasn't said anything. He didn't say 'how dare Mr Trump invite Munir to his office'," Rahul said, while forcefully banging the table. The act drew a light rebuke from Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, who reminded the Congress leader to be mindful of House property. 'Respected member, this is House's property, please don't break it," Birla said after watching Rahul getting carried away during the speech. 'Sorry sir, it was a mistake?" the Congress MP soon responded. The outburst came as Rahul Gandhi criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not objecting to Trump's gesture. He described Munir as the key figure behind the April 22 Pahalgam attack. He also accused PM Modi of using the armed forces to protect his image after the Pahalgam attack. 'If Modi ji has even 50 per cent of the courage that Indira Gandhi had, then clearly he must say in Parliament – Donald Trump is lying," he said. Gandhi also said that if the government had listened to his statement in Lok Sabha a few months ago on China and Pakistan fusing together, they would 'not have lost five aircraft" during Operation Sindoor. Participating in a special discussion in Lok Sabha on 'India's strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam", he claimed the government revealed sensitive details about Operation Sindoor to Pakistan, soon after it was launched.

'India destroyed 1,000 Pakistani missiles mid-air, Congress waited for slip up': PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took multiple swipes at the Opposition, accusing them of being obsessed with finding even a single instance of his failure during Operation Sindoor. Addressing the Lok Sabha, the prime minister said while the whole country was proud when India destroyed all Pakistani missiles in the sky, Congress was waiting to find one instance to attack him. 'Pakistan launched 1,000 missiles and drones towards India, but they were destroyed mid-air by our armed forces. If they had fallen on any part, it would have led to huge destruction, but india destroyed them in the sky. Whole India was proud of it, but Congress was waiting,' PM Modi said. 'Modi kahin toh fasega [Modi will slip up somewhere]' the prime minister said. Attacking Congress more, the prime minister said the party 'operates through the remote control' of Pakistan. 'The country is surprised that Congress has given a clean chit to Pakistan. They are saying that the terrorists of Pahalgam were from Pakistan. Give us proof of this. Pakistan is also demanding the same thing that Congress is making,' he said. 'It has been an old habit with Congress to have a negative approach to the armed forces; Congress yet to embrace Kargil win,' PM Modi said. Also Read | 'Say Donald Trump is a liar': Rahul Gandhi dares PM Narendra Modi during Operation Sindoor debate PM Narendra Modi said, "On one hand, India is moving ahead at a fast pace towards self-reliance, but Congress is becoming dependent on Pakistan for issues. Unfortunately, Congress is importing issues from Pakistan..." "Just 3-4 days after the 22nd April terrorist attack, they [Congress] started jumping up and down. They started saying, "kahan gayi 56 inch ki chhati?" "Kahan kho gaya Modi?" "Modi has failed"...They were shaping their politics even in the murder of innocent people in Pahalgam," he said. PM Modi said the Congress needs excuses to keep attacking the government. "Some people are crying here too. They tried to play a game during surgical strike, it didn't work. During airstrike, they tried playing another game. That didn't work either. When #OperationSindoor took place, they adopted a new tactic - "Why did you stop?"...Waah re bayan bahaduron! You need one or the other excuse to oppose."
