Opposition Wants PM Modi To Lead Op Sindoor Debate, But Here's Why Govt Prefers Rajnath Singh
The precedent was set during the Galwan Valley clashes on the Indo-China border in 2020 when Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed Parliament The opposition wants Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speak on Operation Sindoor in Parliament, but the Centre is insisting that Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will lead the charge as it was a military operation. The precedent was set during the Galwan Valley clashes in 2020 on the Indo-China border when Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed Parliament. Similarly, during Operation Sindoor, Modi addressed the nation, but Singh delivered the official statement in Parliament. Last year, after the political upheaval in Bangladesh when former prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled to India, it was Foreign Minister S Jaishankar who briefed both the Houses. In all-party meetings held before each Parliament session, Singh or JP Nadda typically chair them. On Monday, senior ministers met Modi in Parliament and appraised him of the opposition's demand of him making a statement on Operation Sindoor. He will be available in Parliament only next week when he returns from his foreign tour. The opposition has demanded that the Prime Minister should be present at all-party meetings and address Parliament on major issues. The Congress questioned why he was leaving for a four-day foreign tour this week when Parliament is in session and wants to discuss Operation Sindoor. The BJP views this as an attempt by the opposition parties to target Modi on every issue. The government wants to take a clear stand on US President Donald Trump's claims about the 'ceasefire" between India and Pakistan, as the PM did during his 35-minute phone call with Trump last month but is cautious not to affect the upcoming Indo-US trade deal. It is unclear when the discussion on Operation Sindoor will happen – the opposition wants it next week when Modi returns. VIJAY UTSAV, SAYS PM MODI The PM set the tone for the monsoon session on Monday by suggesting that it should be celebrated as a 'Vijay Utsav' given Operation Sindoor's success. The opposition quickly responded. 'Yes, Operation Sindoor was a success and a response to terror activities from Pakistan soil. I was part of the all-party delegations that went abroad. However, you can only celebrate when you have the terrorists who carried out the attack. The closure for the families will come when these terrorists are killed or hanged. We haven't yet found the terrorists…and the true Vijay Utsav will be the day we do that…and also know the lapses," Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi told News18. The BJP has questioned why the opposition believes Trump's claims over the country's PM. Shiv Sena leader and NDA ally Milind Deora told News18 that the 'opposition should have faith in our Prime Minister over other state heads". BJP MP from Gorakhpur, Ravi Kishan said it is a 'victory session" for the government. 'We smashed Pakistan very badly and the world has seen it. I take pride in what my PM says…and I won't comment on what Trump has said," Kishan said. Congress MP Imran Masood said Modi should publicly contradict Trump's claims. 'We want our PM to look strong. We want the government to lay out facts," he said. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Military clash with Pakistan boosts India's defence business, govt aims to double arms exports by 2029
The four-day military clash between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor gives India's defence industry a push to export its weapon systems to international buyers. Here's how read more The next-generation BrahMos supersonic missile, jointly developed by India and Russia, is also on Brazil's radar.. Representational image: Wikimedia Commons India's defence industry is making a push into the overseas markets, just two months after it engaged in a 4-day military clash with Pakistan following the devastating Pahalgam terror attack. According to a Financial Times report, soon after the military escalation, the Indian government is seeking to boost its manufacturing by exporting home-made industrial products. These products range from mobile phones to missiles, and the endeavour is being undertaken under the ' Make in India' initiative. The push to export military equipment comes from both startups and established state-owned companies like BrahMos, whose missiles rocked Pakistan's military infrastructure during Operation Sindoor. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD While speaking to the Financial Times, Vivek Mishra, chief executive of Raphe mPhibr, a drone start-up that raised $100mn in June, said that the push after Operation Sindoor came because 'if Indian forces are using systems in harsh terrains and they are happy with the performance, that becomes a validation for other countries as well.' Drones and weapon systems deployed during Operation Sindoor garner global attention The start-up's drones include swarm-capable, vertical take-off and landing mR10 and mR10-IC models, similar to the type deployed by India inside Pakistan, as New Delhi attacked nine terror camps in Pakistan. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also explained how the global demand for Indian weapons has increased after Operation Sindoor. 'The global demand for our indigenous products has increased even more after the valour we showed and the capability demonstrated by our domestic equipment in Operation Sindoor,' Singh said at an event in New Delhi on July 8. According to the report, India is aiming to more than double its defence exports, reaching a figure of over Rs 500 billion ($5.8 billion) by 2029. In the past financial year, the export figure stood at Rs 236 billion, the Indian Defence Minister said. For years, India has been one of the world's largest arms importers, buying weaponry from the US, France, Israel, Russia, etc. However, the change in New Delhi's approach could also be due to its ambition to bolster its defence industry to rival that of China. 'The world saw a glimpse of 'Make in India' and indigenous weapon systems in Operation Sindoor,' Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a meeting in May in Kanpur, touted as the hub of the Indian defence industry. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Domestic manufactured arms and BrahMos missiles caused massive destruction deep inside enemy territory,' he added. Back in 2014, it was the PM Modi-then administration that opened up India's defence industry to the private sector. Adani is among the leading conglomerates in the sector, alongside giants such as Tata, Mahindra, and Larsen & Toubro. 'Our drones became the eyes in the skies as well as the swords of attack, and our anti-drone systems helped protect our forces and citizens,' said Gautam Adani, group chair, at the company's annual shareholder meeting last month following the India-Pakistani military clash. What India is exporting A senior government official told the Financial Times that India exported BrahMos anti-ship missiles, which are made by an Indian-Russian joint venture, to the Philippines in 2022 for $375 million. The country is now in discussions to sell the weapon system to Vietnam and Indonesia. Apart from this, New Delhi will also be looking to market its Akash air defence systems, made by state-owned Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL), and artillery guns to 'friendly foreign countries', the official told the Financial Times. 'We are not actively going around flogging any particular weapons," he added. Even before Operation Sindoor, India brokered other military deals involving state-owned companies. Some of them included the sale of four BEL-made Swathi weapon-locating radars made to Armenia for about $40mn that were deployed in the country's brief conflict with Azerbaijan that year. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Since then, Armenia has bought Pinaka rockets and Akash air defence systems, bringing its arms purchases from India to nearly $60mn. All these exports are crucial for the Indian military, given its limited buying power. In light of this, defence groups in the country are optimistic about their prospects of venturing out in foreign markets.
