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.

Kids lose parents in Pak shelling: Rahul Gandhi to sponsor education of 22 children
Rajouri/Jammu: Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will sponsor the education of 22 children who lost either one or both parents in the Pakistani shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir during Operation Sindoor, a party leader has said. Pradesh Congress Committee president Tariq Hameed Karra also refuted any differences with the pre-poll alliance partner National Conference (NC) but said his party is waiting for formation of coordination committee with the ruling party for the past nine months. 'A lot of civilian casualties and damage to properties took place in Poonch and Rajouri (between May 7 and 10) in Pakistani shelling. Rahul Gandhi visited Poonch in the aftermath of the devastating shelling and visited the bereaved families. He asked us to prepare a list of school-going children who lost one or both parents, especially the breadwinners, and accordingly we submitted the list to him,' Karra, who reached Rajouri on a three-day tour of the region, told reporters late Monday. He said the party has a list of 22 such children in the Poonch district alone, and more such children might be included at the end of the three-day visit. Poonch district alone accounted for 13 civilian deaths among 28 fatalities in the Pakistani shelling and drone attacks in Jammu and Kashmir after the Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes on terror infrastructure across the border under Operation Sindoor in May in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 persons, mostly tourists, dead.
