PM: Celebrate ‘Sindoor' success; oppn demands prompt discussion
PM Modi before the Parliament session NEW DELHI: PM Modi on Monday set the tone for the govt's response to the opposition's demand for a discussion on 'Operation Sindoor' and the Pahalgam attack by declaring India's retaliation against terrorist camps deep inside Pakistan a '100% success'. Modi was speaking against the backdrop of the opposition's plans to stage protests in the two Houses as well as the govt agreeing to hold a debate: a rhetorical skirmish which, as per the decision of the business advisory committee, an all-party affair, will pan out for at least 16 hours next week. As soon as the Lok Sabha kicked off proceedings, Congress and its allies demanded that the discussion be held straightaway. Pahalgam debate not set for first week, Cong slams govt Congress also demanded that the Prime Minister personally respond to US President Donald Trump's claim to have leaned on India to get it to negotiate the suspension of Operation Sindoor . In his address, Modi emphasised that the armed forces achieved the success despite him having publicly warned them days by amplifying the intent to 'raze the terrorists to the ground'. 'This monsoon session should be a victory celebration, a vijayotsav (triumph). The entire world has witnessed the strength of Bharat's military capabilities. During Operation Sindoor, the Indian armed forces achieved their objectives with 100% success. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Stunning Photographs from History's Most Defining Events Undo Within just 22 minutes, the mission neutralised its target right inside the enemy's territory. I had announced this during a programme in Bihar, and our armed forces accomplished it within a very short time,' the Prime Minister said. Congress members also insisted that leader of the opposition Rahul Gandhi be permitted to speak, shouting slogans when he was disallowed by Speaker Om Birla, who said he could do so after question hour. Pleas by defence minister Rajnath Singh and parliamentary affairs Kiren Rijiju that the govt was ready to debate all the issues and that it was for the BAC to work out the date and duration of the debate also failed to cut ice. BJP, for its part, also sent the message that it was not going to chicken out of a fight. As soon as PM Modi entered the Lok Sabha after his media address, BJP and allied MPs greeted him with slogans of 'Operation Sindoor' and 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai. In his customary remarks to the media on the inaugural day of the session, PM emphasised the global recognition of India's indigenous defence capabilities. 'When I meet world leaders, they express keen interest in Bharat's homegrown defence equipment. A unified voice from Parliament celebrating this victory will inspire our armed forces and boost research, innovation, and manufacturing in the defence sector, creating jobs for our youth,' he said. Reflecting on the atrocities in Pahalgam, Modi praised all-party delegations that exposed Pakistan's role in global terrorism. 'Setting aside party differences, representatives from various states travelled to world capitals, successfully highlighting Pakistan as a hub of terrorism. Their efforts, in the national interest, created a positive atmosphere and opened global doors to India's perspective,' he said. He said the success of astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla's historic mission was another reason for Parliament to celebrate. Turbulence ahead Congress has slammed the govt for not scheduling the discussion on Pahalgam attack and subsequent events in the first week, and criticised prime minister Narendra Modi for 'not giving importance' to the first session after the dastardly terror attack in J&K. Deputy leader of opposition in LS Gaurav Gogoi said the govt did not put Pahalgam and other issues before the business advisory committee which met on Monday afternoon to decide the business of the lower house. He said the govt did not fix any date or time for the discussion, describing it as 'salt on the wounds of the grieving families'. The opposition continued with its protest on the opening day of the session and forced adjournment of LS even when the House met after the BAC meeting, indicating that it is bent on maintaining pressure, at least for the coming days.

After Sri Lanka & Maldives, Nepal in focus as KP Sharma Oli plans India trip
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads After expanding ties with Maldives and Sri Lanka over the past year, India is focusing on Nepal , with high-level visits being planned between the two months after being re-elected as Nepal's Prime Minister, KP Sharma Oli is planning to visit New Delhi in the next few months and plans to invite PM Narendra Modi to visit Kathmandu later this year, according to people familiar with the matter. In a recent interview to a local media platform, Oli downplayed differences with India and said the bilateral ties were free of any irritants. "Visiting India is not as big a deal as some make it to be, but it is important too. Most likely, I am visiting India... The visit happens after both sides arrange and prepare for it... some prime ministers used to apply for an India visit, but it should be done in an appropriate way. I have also invited Modi ji," he told the Dishanirdesh YouTube leading English media daily, The Kathmandu Post, reported on Monday that Oli could be on a two-day visit to India in mid-September. "The visit is confirmed. That much I can say at the moment," it said, quoting the foreign affairs ministry spokesperson Lok Bahadur Chettri. "The date will be announced later. The ministry has also started groundwork for the visit." Oli has met Modi twice since last year, in New York and is hosting home secretary-level talks with Nepal from Tuesday, after a gap of nine years, where issues such as extradition treaty, mutual legal assistance and intelligence sharing will be discussed. Issues related to border infrastructure, maintenance of boundary pillars and drug trafficking will also be discussed.
