Op-Sindoor's Roar: Modi Govt's 16-Hour Parliament Masterclass Exposes Congress's Pakistan-Pampering DNA
A 16-Hour Ode to Bharat's Grit: The Pahalgam attack, orchestrated by Pakistan-backed terrorists, was a dagger to Bharat's heart. Operation Sindoor, the government's riposte, was a lightning bolt, obliterating seven of nine terror camps across the Line of Control in 22 blistering minutes. The Modi government, on July 29, turned a 16-hour debate in the monsoon session of Parliament into a fiery crucible of Bharat's resolve, defending Operation Sindoor with a ferocity that left the opposition in shambles. The session unmasked Congress's duplicity: they applauded Sindoor at an all-party meeting on May 8, only to nitpick in Parliament. The protracted debate session wasn't a bureaucratic slog— it was a stage for the Modi government to proclaim Bharat's rebirth as a fearless titan.
Rajnath Singh, with battle-hardened gravitas, thundered in the Rajya Sabha: 'Bharat is no longer a soft state. Every citizen is now a self-respecting citizen of a strong nation." His words ignited a fire in every Indian's heart, a vow that terror will find no quarter here. The marathon session was a deliberate flex of transparency. Raksha Mantri Singh dissected Sindoor's brilliance: precision strikes, indigenous drones that mocked Pakistan's creaky arsenal, and forensic evidence tying the terrorists to Pakistan's sinister web. 'Operation Sindoor was not just a military action but an effective and decisive demonstration of the government's responsibility towards India's sovereignty," he declared, silencing doubters with facts. The operation's crowning glory — Pakistan's surrender on May 10 after Indian forces pounded their airfields — was a geopolitical slap, laid bare for the nation to cheer.
He buttressed the narrative, swatting away US President Donald Trump's claim of brokering a ceasefire. 'No Modi-Trump talks occurred between April 22 and June 17," Jaishankar clarified, cementing Bharat's sovereign resolve.
Amit Shah's Verbal Firestorm: Witty, Satiating & Clinching
Amit Shah, the union Home Minister, tore into Congress's hypocrisy with ruthless precision, leaving it clutching at straws, if not crawling barefoot and that too rudderlessly. Confirming that the three terrorists — Suleiman, Afghan, and Jibran — neutralised in Operation Mahadev, a subset of Sindoor, were Pakistani nationals with voter IDs and Pakistan-sourced weapons, Shah scoffed at Congress's communal deflections: 'Don't get upset by looking at the religion of the terrorists killed." His verbal sledgehammer exposed Congress's obsession with muddying national security with irrelevant distractions, a tactic as tired as their rhetoric.
Hooda's Burger Blunder: Meme Gold
If the government was a juggernaut, Congress was a clown show, with Hooda as its bumbling ringmaster. His McDonald's gaffe – likening Sindoor's tactical pause to a fast-food deal – ignited a meme-storm on X. #HoodaMcDonalds and #BurgerCeasefire trended as youth pounced. One meme showed Hooda ordering a 'ceasefire combo with extra diplomacy," while another sneered, 'Hooda thinks geopolitics is a drive-thru order." Gaurav Gogoi's queries about Rafale losses fizzled against Singh's explanation that Sindoor prioritized terror hubs. Hooda's 'If Pakistan was on its knees, why stop?" ignored the strategic pause, earning more laughs than respect.
Congress's DNA: A Legacy of Appeasement
Congress's DNA reeks of mollycoddling enemies while defaming Bharat's own.
Chidambaram's clean chit to Pakistan for Pahalgam, claiming 'no evidence" of their role, echoes his 2010 'saffron terror" trope. Shah slammed it as 'questioning India's attack on terror facilities." Post-26/11, Congress granted Pakistan MFN status, a diplomatic olive branch to a nation that bled Mumbai. Contrast this with BJP's relentless ripostes: surgical strikes, Balakot, and Sindoor. Shivraj Patil, 26/11's Home Minister, peddled 'Hindutva terror," giving Pakistan a pass while vilifying Hindus. Digvijay Singh endorsed 26/11 RSS Ki Saazish (2010), claiming Hemant Karkare feared Hindu extremists – a debunked lie. Now, Vadra blames Pahalgam on 'Hindutva," a slur against the victims. This quartet – Chidambaram, Patil, Singh, and Vadra – exposes Congress's toxic brew of denialism and defamation.
Modi's Searing Assault on Congress
Prime Minister Modi, taking the floor, unleashed a blistering attack on Congress, exposing their flip-flopping and appeasement. 'Congress clapped for Sindoor in private but cries foul in public," he roared, mocking their 'crocodile tears" over the operation's pause. He tore into their historical softness on terror, citing their post-26/11 decision to grant Pakistan MFN status while Bharat mourned. 'When Mumbai bled, Congress offered Pakistan a trade bouquet; when Pahalgam wept, we delivered Sindoor's thunder," Modi declared, contrasting BJP's decisive strikes – surgical strikes (2016), Balakot (2019), and now Sindoor – with Congress's spinelessness. He ridiculed their 'Hindu terror" fantasies, slamming Vadra's 'vile" Pahalgam claim as 'an insult to the 26 martyrs." Modi's words weren't just a rebuke – they were a battle cry, rallying Bharat against an opposition that 'sells national pride for votes."
The Youth's Verdict: Memes Over Manifestos
Congress's gaffes, from Hooda's burger blunder to Vadra's Hindutva nonsense, have made them social media's punching bag. X users savaged them: one post mocked, 'Congress trades national security for meme stardom." Another captioned Hooda with a burger: 'When your terror policy is a Big Mac attack." The youth see Congress as a relic, peddling narratives that insult Bharat's resolve.
The 16-hour session showcased a New India – fearless, self-reliant, and lethal. Singh's vow – 'Those who dream to give India a thousand cuts must never forget that this is the New India led by PM Modi, which can go to any extent against terrorism" – set hearts ablaze. Amit Shah's facts-first approach, Rajnath Singh's iron-fist unwavering stand, and Modi's searing takedown kept the narrative ironclad, scaffolded by the other MPs and minister. Operation Sindoor, and the session that immortalized it, is a milestone in Bharat's ascent, while Congress, mired in its Pakistan-pampering DNA, sinks into irrelevance, one meme at a time.

He has his reasons for saying so...: Shashi Tharoor on Rahul Gandhi's 'dead economy' remark
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Saturday refused to comment on party leader Rahul Gandhi's endorsing US President Donald Trump's 'dead economy' remark about India and said the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha may have had his "own reasons" for saying so. The remarks came after Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday agreed with US President Donald Trump's statement that the Indian economy is "dead" and said he is "glad" that the US President has stated a fact. Speaking to the mediapersons, Tharoor said, "I don't want to comment on what my party leader has said. He has his reasons for saying so. My concern is that our relationship with the US, as a strategic and economic partnership, is important for us. We are exporting around 90 billion worth of goods to America. We can't be in a position to lose that or have it diminish significantly.""We must wish our negotiators strength to get a fair deal for India. We should also be talking to other regions for exporting our goods. Then we could make up for some of what we might lose in the US. We have to support our negotiators," he added. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday agreed with US President Donald Trump's statement that the Indian economy is "dead" and said he is "glad" that the US President has stated a fact. Speaking to reporters, Rahul Gandhi said that the whole world knows the Indian economy is "dead" except for the Prime Minister and Finance Minister."Yes, he is right. Everybody knows this except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. Everybody knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. I am glad that President Trump has stated a fact. The entire world knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. BJP has finished the economy to help Adani," Rahul Gandhi Wednesday, US President Donald Trump made a shocking statement on his social media platform Truth Social after the announcement of 25 per cent tariffs against India and threatened an additional "penalty" for importing Russian oil.

'You can believe what you want…': Kennedy blasts Murray over ‘Qatari jet bribe' claim against Trump
After Republicans voted no on an amendment to ensure a gifted Qatari jet doesn't transfer to Trump after his presidency for his personal use, Patty Murray called this the "most corrupt administration in history." Senator John Kennedy pushed back during a Senate Committee on Appropriations hearing, saying "I don't think it's productive. It's up to you, this is America, you can say and believe what you want. But if you're going to say somebody has been bribed, you need to say specifically by whom? For what?" Show more Show less

India ramps up US energy imports as Trump pushes balanced trade
Washington: India has dramatically increased its energy purchases from the US since Donald Trump returned to office in January, with crude oil imports surging 51% in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year, according to data cited by people aware of the trade specifics between the two nations. The surge follows a February agreement between Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington, where both leaders committed to expanding energy cooperation. (PTI) The energy buying spree reflects New Delhi's commitment to rebalance trade ties with Washington, a key demand of the Trump administration. Liquefied natural gas imports have nearly doubled from $1.41 billion in FY2023-24 to $2.46 billion in FY2024-25. The surge follows a February agreement between Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington, where both leaders committed to expanding energy cooperation. India pledged to boost American energy imports to $25 billion from $15 billion in 2024, while bilateral trade is targeted to more than double from $200 billion to $500 billion by 2030. 'The leaders reaffirmed their commitment to increase energy trade, as part of efforts to ensure energy security, and to establish the United States as a leading supplier of crude oil and petroleum products and liquefied natural gas to India,' the joint statement said. The momentum has accelerated significantly. Indian crude purchases from America jumped 114% to $3.7 billion in the first quarter of FY2025-26 from $1.73 billion in the same period the previous year. In July alone, imports rose 23% month-on-month, pushing America's share of India's total crude imports from 3% to 8%. 'This trend is increasing further from July this year. So, in July 2025 India imported 23% more crude oil from the US compared to June 2025,' said one of the people who analysed the data. 'Also, in India's overall crude imports, while the US share was earlier only 3%, in July that share increased to 8%.' American LNG has emerged as particularly attractive to Indian companies. 'Buying LNG from America is a very attractive proposition for many Indian companies,' said Prashant Vashisht, senior vice president at ratings agency ICRA. 'Firstly, US LNG, which is priced based on the Henry Hub benchmark, is very competitive price-wise compared to other sources. Second, a large number of LNG projects are coming online in the United States, which will mean that more Indian companies will look closely at the American market for tying up long-term contracts.' The timing aligns with America's plans to rapidly expand oil and gas exports. Trump reversed the Biden administration's pause on processing LNG export licences soon after taking office. The US Energy Information Administration expects North America's LNG export capacity to double by 2028, with America providing most of the increase. India's growing appetite for American energy comes as the country is poised to become the world's largest driver of oil demand growth. The International Energy Agency estimates India will surpass China as the major driver of global oil demand growth by 2030, with LNG demand expected to jump 78% to reach 64 billion cubic metres annually. 'Additional long-term LNG contracts worth tens of billions of dollars are being discussed. Indian oil and gas majors are in discussions with their US counterparts for long-term purchase of US oil and gas,' another person familiar with the matter said. 'India considers the US as among the most reliable partners for India's energy security.' However, energy ties remain a point of contention, particularly regarding India's continued purchases of Russian crude oil. The Trump administration has pressed New Delhi to reconsider its energy relationship with Moscow to pressure President Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
