"Pak Is Wife After Op Sindoor, Bring Her Home": Rajasthan MP's ROFL Speech
New Delhi: On a day of sharp exchanges between the opposition and treasury benches during the Operation Sindoor debate in Parliament, there were some moments of comic relief in the Lok Sabha when leaders on both sides of the political aisle laughed out loud. Hanuman Beniwal, the chief of Rashtriya Loktantrik Party and MP from Nagaur, had his fellow MPs in splits when he said Pakistan has become India's wife after Operation Sindoor and that the government should just "bring her home". Addressing the House late last night, Mr Beniwal said that during Operation Sindoor, the government said Pakistan has been brought to its knees. "You kept the name 'sindoor'. It appeared that India is putting sindoor on Pakistan's hair parting. According to Hindu beliefs, a woman considers her husband her sindoor. India put sindoor on Pakistan, so Pakistan has become its wife. Only vidai (bride's farewell) is left. You go and bring Pakistan home," he said, as members cutting across party lines started laughing. ऑपरेशन सिंदूर पर लोक सभा में हुई विशेष चर्चा में भाग लेते हुए कई महत्वपूर्ण बिंदुओं पर सरकार से सवाल किए | #OperationSindoorDebate — HANUMAN BENIWAL (@hanumanbeniwal) July 29, 2025 Nagina MP and Azad Samaj Party chief Chandrashekhar Azad, seated next to Mr Beniwal, was having a roll as the Rajasthan MP spoke. At one point, when someone interrupted him and asked him to wind up soon, Mr Beniwal said, "You spoke for half an hour and you are asking me to go?" When the buzzer rang, signalling that his time was over, the Nagaur MP responded, "Kya ho gaya? (What is it)". Mr Azad intervened and sought some time for his neighbour. Mr Beniwal then told the Chair, "You are making me speak at 10.30 am. My remarks won't be printed in newspapers. I will have to manage with social media," he said, evoking another round of laughter in the House. Shifting gears to question the government, Mr Beniwal said the security failure that led to the Pahalgam attack must be investigated, and the country has the right to know how this breach happened. He also claimed that the morale of the armed forces has decreased after the government brought the Agniveer recruitment scheme and demanded that this move be rolled back.

Meerut Agniveer killed in Poonch; joined Army to support family
The quiet village of Pastra, nestled on the edge of Meerut's Jani, is mourning the untimely and heroic death of Lalit Kumar, a 20-year-old Agniveer jawan who was killed in a landmine explosion near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district on Friday afternoon. Two others were injured in the blast. Lalit Kumar, 20, had joined the Army as an Agniveer jawan a year and half ago (File) Lalit was cremated with military honours on Saturday. Lalit, the son of a daily wage worker, had joined the armed forces under the Agnipath scheme just a year and a half ago, driven by the responsibility of supporting his financially struggling family. Despite being the youngest of four siblings, he had taken it upon himself to educate his brothers and sister, and dreamt of getting them married. Lalit was on his first posting in Poonch when the incident occurred. According to the family, they received a phone call from Lalit's regiment around 2 pm on Friday. They were told that he had been seriously injured in a landmine explosion during a routine patrol. Later, military officials confirmed that Naib Subedar Hariram, Havaldar Gajendra Singh, and Agniveer Lalit Kumar were patrolling near their post when they encountered the deadly landmine. All three were injured, but Lalit later succumbed to his injuries during treatment. According to the family, Lalit had returned to duty only 17 days ago, on July 9, after spending a short 15-day leave with his family. He had left with promises of returning soon on another break to help complete important tasks back home. The family had happily accompanied him to the Meerut railway station. Sister Kajal said Lalit was the first son in the family to secure a government job. After passing his intermediate exams, he had been working toward a B.A. degree. He wanted to complete his education after four years in the Army, Kajal said. Elder brother Nitin added, 'When Lalit said he'd been selected for the Army, the entire household erupted in joy. On the very first night, Lalit phoned every member of the family, and even spoke with his friends in the neighbourhood.' Father Rajpal Singh recalled, 'The very first job application Lalit ever filled out turned out to be the successful one. When my son was selected, it felt as though all our hardships and years of manual labour had finally borne fruit.' In a post on X, White Knight Corps stated: 'General Officer Commanding White Knight Corps and all ranks pay solemn tribute to Agniveer Lalit Kumar, who made the supreme sacrifice, while on an area domination patrol in the general area of Krishna Ghati brigade on 25 July 2025, following a mine blast. We stand with the bereaved family in this hour of grief.' By:
