Taking a swipe at the
Congress

Pakistan
, is very similar..."
Meanwhile, several
BJP
MPs, including Mayank Nayak, Maya Naroliya and Mahima Kumari Mewar, lauded the Prime Minister's address, asserting that it had effectively countered all allegations raised by the Opposition regarding Operation Sindoor.
BJP MP Mayank Nayak said, "All baseless allegations levelled by the Opposition regarding Operation Sindoor were given a categorical reply by the PM today. The world style of previous Govts and PM Modi's 'goli ke saamne gola' style - speaking the language which the enemy nation understands, they have given a reply. Operation Sindoor has been fought unitedly by the citizens and jawans of the country."

"The entire country is standing with the
Indian armed forces

The credit for the success of Operation Sindoor goes to our Armed Forces and brave jawans. The farsightedness of PM Modi and the befitting reply to Pakistan - the entire nation knows about it... I urge the Opposition MPs to stand united with the country..." she said.
She further added, "Congress has no solid issues...They have just one issue, scream and try to prove your words true..."
BJP MP Mahima Kumari Mewar also praised the Prime Minister's speech, stating, "...PM Modi, EAM, Home Minister and Defence Minister replied to all the questions very well and explained everything in detail...I think the whole of India, be it the ruling side or the Opposition, should stand together and think about the security of the people of India. I think our armed forces acted strongly and gave a befitting reply. All the questions that were answered were replied to..."
Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, said that the Indian Armed Forces avenged the April 22
Pahalgam terror attack
in 22 minutes through Operation Sindoor by destroying terror launch pads in "different corners of Pakistan."
Speaking in the Lok Sabha during a discussion on Operation Sindoor, the Prime Minister described the ongoing Parliament session as a "
Vijay Utsav
" (victory celebration) celebrating India's military strength and national unity after the success of the armed forces.
He further said that the Indian Armed Forces were given a free hand to take their own decisions when the conflict with Pakistan escalated in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor on May 7.

PDP President Mehbooba Mufti, addressing a press conference in Jammu, advocated a dialogue with the people of J&K before starting talks with Pakistan, stating that the BJP's rigid policy has only 'silenced the people' of the territory where a 'volcano is building' that needs to be addressed. 'The developments of August 5, 2019 when New Delhi revoked special status of Kashmir under Article 370 and bifurcated the territory into two Union Territories destroyed J&K on the pretext of improving the situation and restoring peace.
