Parliament Session Live: Rahul Gandhi slams govt over not giving free hand to forces during Op Sindoor
Rahul Gandhi- File image Parliament Session Live: In a significant development amid the ongoing Monsoon session of Parliament, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi accused the government of lacking the political will to support the Indian armed forces and claimed it revealed sensitive details about Operation Sindoor to Pakistan. Speaking in Lok Sabha, the Congress leaders sharply criticised the government's military response to the attack, raising questions about Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's statements on the floor of the House. Parliament Session Live: Rahul Gandhi slams government | Highlights 'Rajnath Singh said Operation Sindoor began at 1:05 AM and that by 1:35 AM, India had already called Pakistan to inform them that we had hit non-military targets and that we did not want escalation,' Gandhi said. 'These are not my words. These are the words of India's defence minister,' he said. Gandhi also accused the government of undermining the morale and effectiveness of the armed forces by imposing limitations. 'If you want to use the Indian armed forces, you must have 100 per cent political will. You must give them full freedom of operation,' he asserted. The Congress leader claimed that the Indian Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) was instructed by the government to seek a ceasefire just 30 minutes after the launch of the operation. 'At 1:35 in the night, you told Pakistan exactly what you were going to do – that we will not hit military targets, that we don't want escalation,' Gandhi said. 'You directly told Pakistan your political will, that you do not want to fight,' he alleged. 'You attacked Pakistan and simultaneously told them we are not going to hit your army or air defence systems. That is not freedom of manoeuvre; that is surrender.' (With inputs from agencies)

'If you don't understand my silence ...': Fresh rift within Congress? Manish Tewari responds to question on cryptic post
Congress MP Manish Tewari (PTI file photo) NEW DELHI: Congress MP Manish Tewari on Tuesday added fuel to speculation about internal rifts within the party after posting a cryptic message on social media. Without naming anyone directly, Tewari shared a pointed quote outside Parliament: "There is a saying in English -- 'If you don't understand my silences, you will never understand my words. '" The remark came just hours after he posted patriotic lyrics from the iconic Manoj Kumar film Purab Aur Pachhim: "Hai preet jahaan ki reet sada, Main geet wahaan ke gaata hoon, Bharat ka rehne waala hoon, Bharat ki baat sunata hoon." He, in the end of the post, added "Jai Hind." The timing of Tewari's silence is noteworthy. During Monday's marathon Lok Sabha session on Operation Sindoor -- India's retaliatory strikes on Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack , the Chandigarh MP was not given a chance to speak in ongoing Monsoon session. Many expected him to weigh in, given his background and past engagement on national security issues. Tewari wasn't the only notable Congress voice absent from the discussion. Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor also did not participate. According to ANI, fellow MP and party colleague Gaurav Gogoi approached Tharoor to join the debate, but he declined. When pressed by media on Monday, Tharoor brushed aside questions with a terse: "Maunvrat, Maunvrat." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like My Brows Look Fuller Looking Now [See Results] NULASTIN Learn More Undo Both Tewari and Tharoor had been part of the BJP-led government's post-Operation Sindoor outreach to convey India's position on terrorism to the global community. But since then, Tharoor has reportedly faced internal criticism from the Congress high command for his involvement, and his silence appears to reflect tensions within party leadership. Now, Tewari's own silence and symbolic messaging have raised fresh questions about discord among senior Congress leaders -- and whether the party is struggling to present a unified stance on a critical issue of national security.
