A special debate on ‘Operation Sindoor’ took place in the Lok Sabha on Monday, highlighting India’s military response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives, mostly tourists.
With the monsoon session of Parliament having faced a week of repeated disruptions since it began on July 21, today’s debates are visibly high-voltage, featuring prominent voices from both the ruling NDA and the Opposition, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh warning Pakistan that strikes would resume if it attempted any misadventure.
Singh said the armed forces were given full freedom and that the aim was not war, but to make Pakistan “bow down.”
He rejected claims that India paused operations under pressure, calling such allegations “baseless and absolutely wrong.”
EAM Jaishankar also spoke in the Lok Sabha and sought to end speculation over any involvement of US President Donald Trump in brokering the ceasefire between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.
Addressing Parliament during the ongoing 16-hour debate on the Pahalgam attack and Op Sindoor, Jaishankar said, “There was no call between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump between April 22 and June 17.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to intervene in the Lok Sabha debate and may also participate in a similar discussion in the Rajya Sabha.
The first week of the session was disrupted by frequent adjournments and the unexpected resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar.
The Rajya Sabha is scheduled to hold its debate on Operation Sindoor on Tuesday, with ministers Rajnath Singh and S. Jaishankar among those expected to speak, sources said.

Pralhad Joshi slams Chidambaram; says 'he's given clean chit to Pakistan'
Union minister Pralhad Joshi slammed Congress leader P Chidambaram over his remarks on Operation Sindoor, accusing him of echoing Pakistan’s narrative.
“P Chidambaram, who was the former Home Minister, has given a clean chit to Pakistan. The same people, when they were in power, used to say that there is no hand of Pakistan. The former Home Minister and former Finance Minister should realise that such statements embolden Pakistan's stand,” Joshi said.
Rajya Sabha proceedings adjourned till 2 pm amid Opposition uproar over various issues

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on Monday refuted former Union home minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram’s comments, asserting that people “do not need any proof” of Pakistan’s role in the Pahalgam terror attack, citing past instances of Islamabad’s involvement in similar attacks.
She further pointed out that Pakistan’s defence of The Resistance Front (TRF) at the United Nations Security Council itself served as evidence of their complicity.
Opposition raised Bihar SIR issue minutes before Operation Sindoor debate,’ says Kiren Rijiju
Union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday said that the Opposition demanded an assurance on holding a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar just minutes before the scheduled start of the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha.
The opposition, he said, is running away from a discussion on Operation Sindoor after initial agreement and is now putting preconditions.
Rijiju said Parliament runs in accordance with rules and accused the opposition of going back on its commitment and betraying everyone.
"The opposition is looking at ways to run away from the debate on Operation Sindoor," he said.

We requested the government to hold a discussion on SIR after discussing Operation Sindoor. We need permission of 30 seconds to raise and register that issue.

Rajnath Singh initiates discussion on Operation Sindoor in Lok Sabha
Opposition should not disturb the discussion, says Kiren Rijiju
“Opposition should not attempt to disturb the discussion on Operation Sindoor, and let it happen,” said Parliamentary affairs minister and BJP leader Kiren Rijiju.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh hails Operation Sindoor as a decisive blow to terrorism
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has praised the Indian armed forces for the successful execution of Operation Sindoor, describing it as a powerful response to terrorism and a reaffirmation of India’s commitment to protect its citizens.
The operation was launched in the aftermath of the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 people.
Following the incident, Prime Minister Narendra Modi granted the armed forces full operational freedom to respond decisively.
“Our forces conducted a thorough assessment before initiating the operation. Every step was taken to ensure that only terrorist infrastructure was targeted, avoiding any harm to civilians in Pakistan,” Singh said.
“We struck at the heart of terror. The sacrifice of our people, the pain of our mothers and sisters, we have avenged it with determination.”
Our attack on Pakistan was in “self defence”, it was not provocative: Rajnath Singh says in Lok Sabha
To say Operation Sindoor was stopped under any pressure is baseless, says Rajnath Singh
Defence minister Rajnath Singh said that India paused its strikes on Pakistan because the pre-decided political and military objective were achieved.
"Saying that this operation was paused under any pressure is baseless and absolutely wrong... In my political life, I have always tried not to speak lies ever," Singh clarified.
Pakistan couldn't hit any of our targets, says Rajnath Singh
Rajnath Singh said that owing to India's air defence system and counter-drone system, the attempted attack on the nation by Pakistan was completely foiled.
"Pakistan could not hit any of our targets, and none of our important assets were damaged. Our security arrangements were impregnable, and every attack was thwarted," he added.
Opposition asking how many of our aircraft were shot down, never asked how many enemy aircraft came down: Rajnath Singh in LS.
Rajnath Singh said, “Not even once the Opposition asked us how many Pakistani aircrafts did our army shoot down? “ Ask us whether Operation Sindoor was successful,” he added.
"Opposition should ask, were any of our brave soldiers harmed? The answer is no, none of our soldiers were harmed," he said.
Rajnath Singh in Lok Sabha: Talks can only take place between decent and democratic nations. But a country that lacks even a shred of democracy and thrives on terrorism and hatred toward India is not one we can engage in dialogue with.
India know how to extend a hand of friendship, but it also knows how to twist the wrist if any country betrays it: Rajnath Singh.
Today’s India is self-reliant in defence sector. This is Modi’s new India that will go to any lengths against terrorism: Rajnath Singh in Lok Sabha.
Talks and terror can't go together, Rajnath Singh echoes PM Modi
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that while the Indian government has consistently sought peace with Pakistan, repeated provocations and terror attacks forced a shift in strategy, one that now combines diplomacy with decisive military action.
"Our government has also made numerous efforts to establish peace with Pakistan. But later, through the 2016 surgical strike, the 2019 Balakot air strike, and the 2025 Operation Sindoor, we have adopted a different path to establish peace... The stand of the Narendra Modi government is clear - talks and terror cannot go together," Singh said in Lok Sabha.
Congress Deputy Leader Gaurav Gogoi begins speech in Lok Sabha
Defence Ministry didn't explain how terrorists entered India, asks Gaurav Gogoi
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Monday raised sharp questions in Parliament over the government’s handling of national security, specifically asking how five Pakistani terrorists were able to infiltrate Indian territory.
Gogoi said that while Defence Minister Rajnath Singh reiterated known details about the strikes, he failed to address a critical concern.
“The Defence Minister explained everything the government had already made public. But what the people of India truly want to know is, how did five Pakistani terrorists manage to enter our country?” Gogoi asked.
Amit Shah should take moral responsibility for Pahalgam attack, says Gaurav Gogoi
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Monday held Union Home Minister Amit Shah accountable for the security lapse in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.
"The Home Minister has to take moral responsibility and cannot hide behind the LG," Gogoi said during a debate in Lok Sabha on Operation Sindoor.
Rajya Sabha adjourned for day over SIR issue
The Rajya Sabha was disrupted once again on Monday as Opposition MPs continued to protest over the issue of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar.
The Upper House was adjourned for the day little after 2 pm on Monday, after being adjourned twice in the pre-lunch sitting.
The government has not been able to catch the five terrorists involved in the attack. It’s been 100 days but the government has no answers. You have drones, Pegasus, satellites, but you have not been able to catch them: Gaurav Gogoi in Lok Sabha
Gaurav Gogoi says PM Modi should speak about Trump's claims on ceasefire
Gogoi on Monday demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, not just the Defence Minister, address the Lok Sabha and explain why India agreed to a ceasefire agreement with Pakistan.
Gogoi also referred to repeated claims made by U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Trump has said at least 26 times that he pressured India and Pakistan into a ceasefire by threatening trade consequences. The country deserves to know the truth behind this,” he said.
Gogoi also questioned India’s diplomatic strategy, asking why New Delhi was unable to prevent the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from extending financial assistance to Pakistan despite its alleged support for terrorism.

Will continue to question government on lies and deceit, says Gaurav Gogoi
Congress Lok Sabha MP Gaurav Gogoi reaffirmed the Opposition’s support for the government on matters of national interest and external threats, while demanding transparency over the Pahalgam attack.
“We are not the enemy, we stand with our country and our armed forces, but the government must speak the truth,” he said.
Gogoi emphasized that the Opposition would persist in holding the government accountable, stating, “We will continue to question the government over its lies and deceit.”
Why PM didn't post anything on Trump's statement, asks TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee
TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi as to why he did not post anything on US President Donald Trump's remark regarding the ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
"The moment you stand in front of the American President, your height is reduced to 5 feet, and your chest is reduced to 36 inches from 56 inches. Why are you so afraid of the American President?” he added.
Congress MP from Wayanad, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, is expected to speak in the House on Tuesday during the debate on Operation Sindoor.
BJP MP Baijayant 'Jay' Panda took a swipe at the Congress after Shashi Tharoor refused to follow the party line and instead expressed support for Operation Sindoor.
Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to speak in the Lok Sabha on Operation Sindoor at 12 pm on Tuesday. However, the timing of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address has not yet been finalised.
Meanwhile, sources said the debate on Operation Sindoor may continue until midnight, with dinner arrangements being made for MPs in the House.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Monday told the Lok Sabha that the government’s immediate response to the Pahalgam terror attack was aimed at sending a strong and unambiguous message. He said the first step was to put the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, followed by suspending the SAARC visa exemption facility and shutting down the Attari border checkpost with Pakistan.
Jaishankar said that in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, the government’s objective was twofold at the United Nations Security Council: to secure an explicit call for accountability and ensure that the perpetrators were brought to justice, despite India not being a member of the UNSC, while Pakistan is.
“We had to highlight Pakistan’s historical support to cross-border terrorism before the international community,” Jaishankar said, adding that the April 25 UNSC statement not only condemned the attack but also stressed the need to hold the perpetrators, organisers, financiers, and sponsors accountable.
“This is the answer to the Opposition’s questions on our response to the Pahalgam attack,” he added.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Monday dismissed US President Donald Trump’s claim that he had mediated between India and Pakistan following the conflict in May. Jaishankar clarified that no phone call took place between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump during the period from April 22 to June 17.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Monday told the Lok Sabha that during heightened tensions between India and Pakistan in May, the U.S. had warned India of an imminent Pakistani strike.
He said U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance called Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 9, 2025, cautioning him about a “massive Pakistani attack” expected within hours. “PM Modi responded that if such an attack happened, it would be met with an appropriate response. Our Armed Forces foiled that attack,” Jaishankar said.
The next day, on May 10, India received calls from various countries indicating that Pakistan was ready to cease hostilities. “Our position was clear, if Pakistan was serious, the request had to come through the DGMO channel. That is exactly how it came,” he said.
Jaishankar also clarified that there was “no linkage with trade” in any conversations with the U.S. during this period. “Secondly, there was no call between PM Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump from April 22, when he called to express sympathy after the Pahalgam attack, till June 17, when he again spoke to PM Modi in Canada.”
At this point, Home Minister Amit Shah intervened, asking the Opposition why they placed more faith in a foreign leader’s claims than in India’s own External Affairs Minister.
Samajwadi Party MP Chhotelal on Monday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha, accusing him of remaining silent on critical national crises and avoiding accountability in Parliament.
“What was worse than the Pahalgam terror attack was the Prime Minister’s silence, followed by his visit to Bihar to address a public meeting. When the country is burning, he chooses silence — it’s like a gun to the face of democracy,” Chhotelal said during the debate.
He accused the PM of using Pulwama politically while staying silent on violence in Manipur. “Is this Amrit Kaal — where the Prime Minister runs away from the House and keeps travelling abroad? Is he only going to speak on Mann Ki Baat, and not on issues facing the country and its farmers?” he asked.
“In 11 years, the Prime Minister has travelled to many countries, but when India needed support, no country stood by us,” he added.
BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Monday accused the Congress of following a long-standing policy of deliberately weakening the country and its armed forces. Participating in the Lok Sabha debate on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, Surya said, “Congress leaders may keep changing, but since 1947, their policy has remained the same — to systematically and deliberately weaken India’s defence.”
He cited India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, claiming that Nehru had once said the country did not need an army because its policy was based on Ahimsa, and the police would suffice.
Surya further alleged that the Congress had deliberately weakened Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) a decade ago by leaving it with no order book. “Today, thanks to Prime Minister Modi’s Make in India initiative, HAL has orders worth over Rs 1 lakh crore,” he said.
Quoting former Union Minister Arun Shourie from a 2008 Rajya Sabha speech, Surya said the Congress had a habit of “running to the U.S.” for support. He added that this dependency had become a legacy of the party and urged it to stop looking to foreign powers for solutions.
Participating in the Lok Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor, BJP MP Anurag Thakur launched a sharp attack on the Congress, accusing it of undermining India’s armed forces and maligning the Prime Minister.
“India fought on two and a half fronts — while two are well known, the ‘half front’ is the Rahul Occupied Congress,” Thakur said, alleging that the party has repeatedly insulted the armed forces.
He claimed that in the past two months, the Congress has shared “disgusting and insulting” cartoons on social media targeting both the Prime Minister and the Indian Army.
“Rahul Occupied Congress even called the Army chief a roadside goon. Rahul Gandhi must apologise to the entire country and the armed forces,” Thakur said.

Anurag Thakur criticised the Opposition for what he called a deliberate silence on the religious nature of the Pahalgam terror attack.
“Not a single Opposition MP who spoke here has acknowledged that in this terrorist attack, victims were asked their religion, forced to recite the Kalma, their pants were removed — and then they were killed,” Thakur said. “What stopped the Opposition from speaking this truth?” he asked.
He also took a swipe at the lack of support from the Opposition during Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s speech. “When the Defence Minister was listing the Indian Army’s achievements, there was no applause, no one thumped the desk. Why this indifference?” Thakur said.
Hitting back at BJP MP Tejasvi Surya’s remarks on India’s defence history, NCP-SCP MP Supriya Sule said, “He claimed that Jawaharlal Nehru never encouraged the armed forces and that this is the first time India has performed exceptionally. In doing so, he has insulted lakhs of soldiers and their families who have protected us for decades. I object to his statement.”
She urged Surya to read history and reminded the House, “When it comes to the country, the order is — nation first, then state, then party, then family.”
Sule also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for showing faith in Opposition leaders during the crisis. “When Kiren Rijiju called me, he simply said — Supriya, you’ll have to give ten days for the country. That is what we did,” she said. “At the all-party meeting, it was the Congress party that first stood up and declared full support to the government in its fight against terrorism.”
Sule also shared an emotional account of meeting Asawari Jagdale, whose father was killed in the Pahalgam terror attack. “She keeps asking me — when will the terrorists who killed my father be punished? When will we get justice?” Sule said. “She told me she used to believe Kashmir was heaven, but for her and her mother, it has become hell.”
During the Lok Sabha discussion on Operation Sindoor, BJP MP Anurag Thakur launched a scathing attack on the Congress, accusing its leaders of siding with Pakistan and weakening India’s stand on terrorism.
“Today, instead of discussing Operation Sindoor, Congress leaders seemed to be competing to prove who is Pakistan’s closest friend,” Thakur said. Referring to a recent interview by a former Home Minister, he added, “He said—‘If Pakistan didn’t do this, how can you say the terrorists came from there?’”
Thakur alleged that Congress has a history of downplaying terrorism and defending Pakistan. “Sometimes they label it Hindu terrorism, sometimes they defend Pakistan outright. Today, there are so many Pakistan sympathisers in Congress that even before Pakistan speaks, its defence is already presented by Congress leaders,” he said.
Accusing the party of acting in line with Pakistan’s interests, he remarked, “The Pakistani army and government are now using the brothers of Lashkar-e-Rahul. Though the party is called INC, their statements and actions make it look like Islamabad National Congress.”
During the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the House, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi says, "Does your conscience allow you to ask the family members of the people who were killed in Baisaran to watch India's cricket match with Pakistan?... We are stopping 80% of Pakistan's water, saying that water and blood will not flow together. Will you play a cricket match? My conscience does not allow me to watch that match.
Does this government have the courage to call the 25 dead people and say we have taken revenge in Operation Sindoor, now you watch the match with Pakistan. It is a matter of great regret... Who did Pahalgam? We have 7.5 lakh army and central paramilitary force. From where did these four rats enter and kill our Indian citizens? On whom will accountability be fixed?

BJP MP Dilip Saikia asserted that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) would soon be part of India. Launching a sharp attack on the Congress, Saikia said, “India lost one-third of Kashmir to Pakistan during 1948 — will the Congress take responsibility for that?” He claimed that while the Congress harboured ambitions to divide the country, such goals would never be fulfilled under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
During the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, Samajwadi Party MP Dharmendra Yadav questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence over U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly taking credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Calling it “shameful for all 140 crore Indians,” the Azamgarh MP said, “The whole country is with you, why don’t you condemn such statements?”
While praising the armed forces for the success of Operation Sindoor, Yadav also said the responsibility for the lapses that led to the Pahalgam terror attack lies not just with the Union Territory’s Lieutenant Governor but also with the Central Government.
Six more speakers are scheduled to address the Lok Sabha as the Operation Sindoor debate on Day 1 extends past midnight. BJP MP Kamaljeet Sehrawat is currently speaking.
The Lok Sabha was finally adjourned till 11 am on Tuesday, marking an end to Day 1 of the Operation Sindoor debate. Speaker Om Birla thanked MPs for participating in the debate.
