The Indian government has signalled that it is ready to discuss Operation Sindoor, which was India’s military response to the recent Pahalgam terror attack, in the upcoming Parliament session. Additionally, it may also address US President Donald Trump’s claim about brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.

Government Agrees to Debate

After an all-party meeting on Sunday, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju confirmed the government’s stand. He stated, “We are open to discussing key issues such as Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam attack. These matters concern the nation deeply, and the government won’t shy away from debate.”

Moreover, the meeting included 54 political leaders from different parties. During the discussions, several opposition parties, such as the Congress, Samajwadi Party, Left parties, NCP (Sharad Pawar faction), and Shiv Sena (UBT), demanded a debate on the military operation.

Interestingly, even Shrikant Shinde, a Shiv Sena MP allied with the ruling NDA, supported holding a debate. According to two leaders present, his support added pressure on the government.

Congress Demands PM’s Clarification

Meanwhile, the Congress party demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally address both the military action and Trump’s remarks in Parliament.
“We hope the Prime Minister speaks in Parliament. These are serious matters—the Pahalgam attack and the security lapse behind it. Comments from the US President raise concerns about India’s honour and the bravery of our armed forces,” said Gaurav Gogoi, Congress’s deputy leader in the Lok Sabha.

Additionally, Gogoi mentioned that the opposition would raise the issue of the ongoing voter roll revision in Bihar.

Defence Minister Likely to Speak

However, sources revealed that it is still unclear whether Prime Minister Modi will respond directly. Instead, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is expected to make a detailed statement about Operation Sindoor during the monsoon session.

In conclusion, although the government has agreed to discussions, the opposition continues to push for direct answers from the Prime Minister himself.
