Opposition walks out of Rajya Sabha session over PM's absence
Opposition parties staged a walkout in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday (July 30, 2025) evening just as Home Minister Amit Shah rose to speak in conclusion of the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Upper House, in protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's absence. Congress president and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said that it was an insult to the Upper House that the Prime Minister, despite being in Parliament, refused to come. Parliament Monsoon session Day 8 Highlights | July 30, 2025 'We had hoped that after 16 hours of debate in this House, where several questions were raised, many of which were directed at the Prime Minister, that he would make an appearance in the House. Prime Minister's absence in the House, even though he is present here (in Parliament), is an insult to this house,' Mr. Kharge said. Deputy Chairman Harvinash said that the rules allow the government to decide on who should respond to the debate, and this was conveyed during the Business Advisory Committee Meeting of the Upper House. When Mr. Shah rose to speak, the Opposition members walked towards the front row, chanting, 'Where is PM?' All Opposition parties unanimously questioned the lack of an allegedly direct response from the government on U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated claims on brokering peace between India and Pakistan. RJD MP Manoj Kumar Jha demanded that the House move a resolution condemning Mr. Trump's repeated remarks. 'I propose that a resolution be moved, saying that this House unilaterally condemns the repeated statement of American President Donald Trump and declares him to be the greatest liar of the century,' he said. CPI(M) MP John Brittas pointed out that Mr. Modi spoke for over 100 minutes in Lok Sabha but made no reference to Mr. Trump. 'Is he scared? A comedian turned President while he was in the White House had the guts to speak up to Mr. Trump, but our Prime Minister was laughing with him while the U.S. was poking us with tariffs,' he said. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut questioned why India declared a ceasefire 'despite having the upper hand'. 'What did we get in return for the ceasefire? If not Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK), we should have asked for Kulbhushan Jadhav, who is languishing in a Pakistani jail for the last 15 years,' he said. Criticism against Defence Ministry Samajwadi Party MP Javed Ali Khan said that Defence Minister Rajnath Singh listed questions that Opposition parties should have asked of the government, but his Ministry was running away from answering any questions. 'Monday is the designated day for the Defence Ministry to answer questions. Two Mondays have passed since the beginning of this session. Not a single starred or unstarred question posed to the Defence Ministry has been admitted so far,' he said. CPI MP P. Sandosh Kumar said that after Operation Sindoor, the government was now on 'Operation Silence'. NCP (Sharad Pawar) MP Fauzia Khan said, 'The Defence Minister said that Operation Sindoor has not ended, we have only paused it. It is only a comma and not a full stop. When will they put the full stop? One of their (BJP) Chief Ministers had claimed that the government will take over Pakistan Occupied Kashmir within six months of coming to power. Then why didn't they do it?' Earlier, SP MP Jaya Bachchan had questioned the government's decision to name the strike against Pakistan as Operation Sindoor. 'I would like to congratulate you… you have hired writers who come up with grand names. You called it 'Operation Sindoor', but the real sindoor (vermilion) was wiped off the foreheads of the women who lost their husbands,' she said.

Operation Sindoor debate: Oppn MPs walk out from Rajya Sabha over PM Modi's absence – 'insult to the House'
Members of Opposition INDIA bloc staged a walkout on Wednesday from the Rajya Sabha after a heated altercation between Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Leader of Opposition in the House Mallikarjun Kharge over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's absence during the proceedings in the Upper House. Opposition MPs led by Kharge demanded that the Prime Minister come to the Upper House and brief them on Operation Sindoor as he did on Tuesday in the Lok Sabha. Kharge said that PM Modi should have come to the House, as many of the Opposition's questions were directly related to him. 'There was a demand from the Opposition that the PM should come to the House and give a reply. If the PM doesn't come to the House despite being present in Parliament premises, then it is an insult to the House,' Kharge said. Replying to this, Deputy Chairman of the House Harivansh said, "Mr. Kharge, I would like to inform you that I have already explained that any minister from the government side can respond. This is the ruling. You cannot force anyone." Home Minister Amit Shah said that Mallikarjun Kharge is raising this point, who is not allowed by his own party to speak on important matters. "Mr. Kharge is raising this issue, even though his own party (Congress) doesn't allow him to speak on important matters," Shah said. Shah concluded the debate. The Rajya Sabha LoP again stood up and said to the Deputy Chairman, 'You interrupt on every point.' The Opposition MPs then staged a walkout from the House. Targeting them, Amit Shah said that the opposition members simply cannot stand to listen to this debate, as they were unable to stop terrorism for so many years. "The opposition's demand is not justified because in the Business Advisory Committee meeting, it was decided that the discussion can go on as long as you want, but it is up to the government to decide who will respond," Shah said. "I know why they are leaving -- because for so many years, in the name of protecting their vote bank, they did nothing to stop terrorism. They simply cannot stand to listen to this debate," he added. Speaking in Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Shah announced that all three Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists who were involved in the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 were neutralised during Operation Mahadevon the outskirts of Srinagar on Monday. Twenty-six civilians were killed in the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, after which India retaliated through precision strikes under Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir(PoK). If the PM doesn't come to the House... then it is an insult to the House. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed the Lok Sabha during the special discussion on 'Operation Sindoor', India's military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, on Monday. Singh addressed the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. PM Modi is expected to speak in the Lok Sabha later in the day. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said no world leader asked India to stop its military action against Pakistan during 'Operation Sindoor' after four days of conflict in May in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack. In his address to theLok Sabha,which lasted about 100 minutes, Modi lamented that while the nation received support from across the world, the Congress and its allies could not support the valour of the nation's soldiers.
