Parl braces for fiery debate on Pahalgam, Op Sindoor
New Delhi: After a week-long washout, Parliament is all set to return to work on Monday with a debate on Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor in Lok Sabha even as some Opposition parties are expected to raise noise on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar electoral rolls. Top guns on both sides like Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav and Trinamool Congress' Abhishek Banerjee are likely to speak in Lok Sabha during the debate. Singh is expected to be the first speaker, and he will spell out the contours of Operation Sindoor and subsequent developments, including the circumstances of the ceasefire and claims of US President Donald Trump that he brokered the de-escalation. All eyes will be on Singh on whether he would reveal the details of fighter aircraft India lost in the military confrontation, an issue on which the Opposition has been insisting that the government clean. Similarly, it will be keenly watched whether Congress would list Shashi Tharoor as a speaker, as he is at loggerheads with his party over his endorsement of the Modi government on the issue and leading a delegation to the US and other countries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to intervene in the 'Special Discussion on India's Strong, Successful and Decisive Operation Sindoor in Response to the Terrorist Attack in Pahalgam for which 16 others have been allocated. The debate in the Rajya Sabha will start on Tuesday where also 16 hours is earmarked. The ruling BJP would be highlighting the Indian military's successful dismantlingof terror infrastructure in Pakistan, including Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters in Bahawalpur and hitting for the first time the Pakistani side of Punjab since the 1971 war. The party would also try to corner the Congress by highlighting the inner-party differences over its MPs participating in the multi-party delegations sent by the government.

When all are treated equally, conflicts end, peace prevails, says Dingaleshwar Swami
'According to Sufi saints unless all human beings were treated as one and fight between religions ended, establishment of peace in a country is not possible', Seer Fakira Dingaleshwar Swami has said. Speaking at the 'convention of Sufi saints' at Idgah Maidan in Old Hubballi on Saturday (July 26, 2025), in which few thousand people participated, Fakira Dingaleshwar Swami said that had it not been for Sufi saints and reformers like Basavanna and other sharanas, rivers of blood would have flown in the country. 'The Sufi saints and Basavanna have propagated the message of bonhomie and peace. The message of 'shun hatred and love' was given by Fakireshwar five centuries ago. In Hubballi Sri Gangadhara Rajayogindra Swami has immensely contributed to Hindu-Muslim bonhomie', he said. Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi said that the contribution of Sufi saints in building a harmonious society was immense. Conventions like this which united everyone should be held across the state, he said. He said that success would be possible in the fight against vested interests only if Hindus and Muslims fought unitedly and freedom would gain meaning only when everyone got equal opportunities, equal rights and access to education. For the problems of the country there was solution in Ambedkar's thinking, he said. 'Participate in the birth anniversaries of Ambedkar, Basavanna and Buddha and we will participate in your programmes', he told the Muslims. Making introductory remarks Chief Whip of Karnataka Legislative Council Saleem Ahmed said that for ensuring overall development of the nation communal harmony was essential. 'The message of the convention is shun hatred and win over everyone with love', he said. Textile Minister Shivanand Patil said steps should be taken to contain people instigating violence for the sake of vested interests by organising such conventions. If one behaved with humanity after birth, then he would also be a Sufi, he said. Chairman of Karnataka Waqf Board Syed Mohammed Ali Husseni called on everyone to follow the message of Sufi and other saints. He also emphasised the need for providing good 'sanskar' to the children. A host of religious heads including Channavasava Swami of Savanur and several Muslim religious heads took part in the convention. A host of political leaders, former cricketer Azaruddin and others were present.

Kamal enters (and blooms)
EC's Vegas Rule on Bihar rolls Ah, Bihar in mid-summer — not exactly a holiday destination, unless it is the election season. While the rest of the country was trying to keep cool, the Election Commission of India (ECI) found itself in the eye of a different kind of storm: the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the state's voter rolls. On the surface, the ECI was silent — stoically non-reactive as opposition parties went full megaphone, accusing it of voter suppression, particularly of the marginalised. Top national and state leaders openly questioned the Commission's credibility, suggesting it was conveniently trimming the electoral rolls with a not-so-invisible hand. However, behind the scenes, the story was quite different. In a move that can only be described as 'institutionally enigmatic,' the Commission opted for off-the-record media briefings, invoking what officials casually referred to as 'The Vegas Rule'. It means, 'We'll talk, but no quoting, please.' Borrowed from the glitzy world of Las Vegas (and perhaps a few spy thrillers), the rule was intended to create a 'safe and trusting' environment. Or so they said. What happened, of course, stayed behind closed doors. In those unrecorded briefings, ECI officials elaborated at length on the legal and constitutional basis for the SIR, repeatedly asserting that their only aim was to ensure that only Indian citizens were on the electoral rolls. Which is entirely fair — assuming the implementation doesn't quietly shave away inconvenient voters. Alas, with no quotes and no recordings, we're left with little more than shadows and well-dressed speculation.
