Parliament Monsoon Session Live Updates: Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha to resume today following clash over Operation Sindoor
Parliament Session Live Updates: The Monsoon Session of Parliament will resume on Wednesday at 11am in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, a day after proceedings were adjourned following a charged debate on Operation Sindoor — India's military response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Tuesday's session witnessed intense political back-and-forth, with sharp exchanges between the ruling party and the opposition. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his address, praised the Armed Forces for their swift and decisive action. Calling it 'the new normal,' he said India would no longer tolerate cross-border terrorism. He also stressed that India acted independently, without external pressure, stating, 'Told US Vice President that if Pakistan attacks India, our attack would be much bigger as we will respond to bullets with cannons.' Modi made it clear that no world leader had asked India to stop its military operation, underscoring the government's firm stance on national security. Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, however, accused the government of holding back the Armed Forces. He claimed the loss of Indian aircraft during the operation was a result of political restrictions placed on the military. 'The aircraft were lost because of constraints given by the political leadership to not attack the military and air defence infrastructure of Pakistan,' he said. Gandhi further alleged that Pakistan was pre-informed that its military infrastructure would not be targeted.

Family of Pahalgam terror attack victim finds solace following ‘Operation Mahadev'
Bengaluru: For the family of Bharath Bushan, who was killed in the Pahalgam attack, the news of the killing of the mastermind of the attack and his associates in 'Operation Mahadev' has brought a sense of relief. Bushan was among the 26 people killed in front of their families after confirming their religious identity in Pahalgam on April 22. Most of those killed by terrorists were tourists. Speaking to PTI videos on Tuesday, Bushan's father Chennaveerappa said the killing of his son in the terror attack was a 'very barbarous act'. The killing of terrorists has definitely brought some solace to the grieving families who lost their sons. Lauding the Modi government for its efforts, he said, 'Hereafter, I think the government should ensure that no terrorists enter our land and kill innocent people... This should not happen again and the government should make sure that military personnel are posted in such areas...' He said deploying army personnel at the tourist spot could have prevented the attack and 26 precious lives could have been saved. Calling for an end to cross-border terrorism, he said, 'The government should be alert and avoid cross border terrorism and they have to see that Pakistan learns a lesson in this regard. Of course Modi has done a good work. He killed terrorists... he informed the whole world that we are against terrorism.' Though Bushan's brother, Preetham, was relieved that the terrorists were eliminated, he lamented that nothing could bring his brother back. 'We are not going to get my brother back but I am very sure that the government and the armed forces have eliminated such evil people who would cause such kind of trauma for many other families so from that perspective, we are very happy that such kind of people who did brutal killing of innocent tourists have been eliminated,' he said.
