Parliament Session Live: Rahul Gandhi slams govt over not giving free hand to forces during Op Sindoor
Rahul Gandhi- File image Parliament Session Live: In a significant development amid the ongoing Monsoon session of Parliament, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi accused the government of lacking the political will to support the Indian armed forces and claimed it revealed sensitive details about Operation Sindoor to Pakistan. Speaking in Lok Sabha, the Congress leaders sharply criticised the government's military response to the attack, raising questions about Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's statements on the floor of the House. Parliament Session Live: Rahul Gandhi slams government | Highlights 'Rajnath Singh said Operation Sindoor began at 1:05 AM and that by 1:35 AM, India had already called Pakistan to inform them that we had hit non-military targets and that we did not want escalation,' Gandhi said. 'These are not my words. These are the words of India's defence minister,' he said. Gandhi also accused the government of undermining the morale and effectiveness of the armed forces by imposing limitations. 'If you want to use the Indian armed forces, you must have 100 per cent political will. You must give them full freedom of operation,' he asserted. The Congress leader claimed that the Indian Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) was instructed by the government to seek a ceasefire just 30 minutes after the launch of the operation. 'At 1:35 in the night, you told Pakistan exactly what you were going to do – that we will not hit military targets, that we don't want escalation,' Gandhi said. 'You directly told Pakistan your political will, that you do not want to fight,' he alleged. 'You attacked Pakistan and simultaneously told them we are not going to hit your army or air defence systems. That is not freedom of manoeuvre; that is surrender.' (With inputs from agencies)

Remark on Kharge disrupts Rajya Sabha debate on Op Sindoor
New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha witnessed a stormy debate on Tuesday during deliberations over Operation Sindoor—India's military counteraction to the April 22 terror strike in Pahalgam. Tensions flared when JP Nadda, the BJP leader and Leader of the House, responded to Opposition charges. While promising that all concerns raised would be addressed, he remarked that the tone of Mallikarjun Kharge's speech indicated 'mental instability.' The statement provoked immediate protests from Opposition benches, and the House witnessed an uproar for a while, even though the deputy speaker Harvansh Narayan Singh tried to pacify the members that the Leader of the House had withdrawn his words. Kharge, clearly incensed, rose to respond: 'I have always respected a few ministers in this House—Nadda is one of them. But calling me mentally unstable is outrageous. He must apologise. I will not let this go.' Opposition MPs echoed his protest, prompting Nadda to withdraw his words and apologise. 'I apologise. You're not mentally unstable. But in your emotional fervour, you overlooked the dignity due to the Prime Minister,' he clarified. The confrontation highlighted the deepening divide between ruling and Opposition parties, not only over national security but also the deteriorating standards of Parliamentary dialogue. The debate on 'Operation Sindoor' is set to continue, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah expected to speak later in the session. Earlier, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had opened the proceedings by outlining the government's position. He said Indian security forces had killed three terrorists belonging to The Resistance Front, the outfit responsible for the April 22 massacre of 26 civilians. Singh commended the joint action of the Army, CRPF, and Jammu and Kashmir Police, and reinforced India's uncompromising position on terrorism. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, spearheading the Opposition's response, criticised the government's internal security record, demanded clarified answers, and fixing of accountability.
