Op Sindoor Debate: Amit Shah To Speak In Lok Sabha Tomorrow, PM Modi Likely To Speak
Last Updated: PM Modi will likely address Parliament on Operation Sindoor. Operation Sindoor Debate In Parliament: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to participate in the ongoing debate over Operation Sindoor– India's retaliatory strikes on Pakistan following the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack– and address the Parliament on Tuesday evening. The Prime Minister is likely to address either house of the Parliament at around 7 pm on Tuesday. Additionally, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is also expected to lead the discussion in Lok Sabha tomorrow, while Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will open the debate in Rajya Sabha. Parliament began the three-day debate on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor from Monday, following a week of disruption. Both the ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance and the Opposition have fielded senior leaders for the discussions in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The lower house witnessed fiery exchange of words between the treasury and opposition benches over the terror attack and the India's strikes on Pakistan. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh began the debate in Lok Sabha, explaining how, through Operation Sindoor, the Indian armed forces hit nine terror targets in Pakistan and PoK and killed over 100 terrorists. He also said that the Operation was stopped because India's objective was achieved and not under pressure. 'We stopped action because our objectives were met. It is baseless and wrong that the Operation Sindoor was stopped under any pressure," Singh said as his statement was followed by uproar from the Opposition. The opposition parties came down heavily on central government over the announcement of a ceasefire after a three-day conflict between India and Pakistan by US President Donald Trump. Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi led the opposition's discussion, questioning the government over alleged security lapses. The Deputy Leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha asked Rajnath Singh why he did not mention in his speech how terrorists from Pakistan reached Pahalgam and killed 26 people. 'It is our duty to ask these questions in the interest of the nation," he added. Gogoi also said why security agencies are not able to nab the terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack. Meanwhile, BJP allies– Janata Dal (U) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP)– also came to applaud the government for the decision taken during Operation Sindoor, in which nine terror camps were targeted in Pakistan and PoK. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Mandi flash flood: Jai Ram Thakur meets PM Modi, seeks concessions in Forest Conservation Act, relief package to resettle displaced families
Himachal Pradesh Leader of Opposition (LoP) Jai Ram Thakur Monday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and urged for concessions under the Forest Conservation Act so that displaced families in Mandi, the worst-hit district in the recent flash floods, can be resettled safely on alternative land. The former chief minister also urged PM Modi to provide an area-specific relief package for rehabilitation and reconstruction, and sought to initiate a study to examine the root causes of recurring natural disasters in the state, in a bid to mitigate future losses. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has also been urging the Centre to relax rules and regulations under the Forest Conservation Act to rehabilitate the displaced families on forest land. The 1980 Act aims to regulate and restrict the de-reservation and use of forest land for non-forest purposes. It mandates prior approval from the central government for any relaxation in the rule. During Monday's meeting, which lasted around an hour, Thakur, who represents the Seraj Assembly constituency in Mandi, briefed PM Modi on the overall devastation caused by recent natural disasters in various parts of Himachal Pradesh. He said the PM took detailed stock of the damage and assured full support for rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts. Thakur said he informed PM Modi that people had not only lost their homes but also their land, leaving them with nowhere to rebuild amid a disaster that caused losses exceeding Rs 1,200 crore across the state. Damages worth over Rs 1,000 crore were reported in Seraj constituency alone, he added. On the night of June 30, 42 lives were lost in Seraj, Karsog, and Nachan following flash floods triggered by the cloudburst in Mandi, with Seraj alone accounting for 29 deaths. Over 500 homes were completely washed away, while another 1,000 houses sustained major damages. Thakur added that heavy damage was also reported in Nachan, Karsog, and Dharampur, where Syathi village was completely razed.
