The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP SP) leader Supriya Sule on Thursday said that she could not sign a letter demanding a special session of Parliament over the Pahalgam terror attack, as she was on a tour representing India as part of a multi-party delegation, reported the PTI.
Addressing a press conference after her return from a four-nation tour, the MP from Baramati in Maharashtra's Pune district, said her party's stand was that there was no need for debate as 'Operation Sindoor' was still underway, as per the PTI.
"When Parliament's monsoon session begins, we will be asking questions to the government on the Pahalgham attack and Operation Sindoor," Sule said.
The government had sent multi-party delegations to several nations to highlight Pakistan's continued support for terrorism and India's response to the April 22 Pahalgram attack in the form of Operation Sindoor to destroy terror centres in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
"I couldn't sign the letter demanding the special session of Parliament as I was on a tour representing the country. I have shown faith and trust in my country. The tour was productive, and the leadership of all four countries 'Qatar, South Africa, Egypt, and Ethiopia' expressed strong solidarity with India and condemned all acts of terrorism," Supriya Sule said, according to the PTI.
All four countries share a close bond with India, which they consider 'the land of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and Narendra Modi', she said, the news agency reported.
Supriya Sule said that she had told Congress leaders that she would attend the INDIA bloc meetings after her return. The Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) is a constituent of the opposition grouping INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance).
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 16 opposition parties have demanded that a special session of Parliament be convened. The government on Wednesday said that the Monsoon session of Parliament will be held from July 21 to August 12.
Meanwhile, on merger of NCP factions, Sule said that there has been no discussion or proposal on the two rival Nationalist Congress Party factions coming together.
There is "no storm in a teacup", as is being made out, Supriya Sule told reporters here when asked about the buzz in political circles about the merger of the two NCP factions led by Sharad Pawar and his estranged nephew Ajit Pawar.
"You will see us in the (opposition) INDIA alliance meeting in the next few days when it is convened," said Sule.
