The second week of the Parliament Monsoon Session is expected to be full of intense discussions. The Lok Sabha on Monday is set to hold a special discussion on 'Operation Sindoor,' which was India's military response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
With a very intense and fiery debate expected on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, top leaders from the opposition will be on their toes to ask the questions around the same. The government, which has been under the radar of the opposition, is expected to come out with befitting replies.
As reported by news agency ANI, the Lok Sabha List of Business for Monday states, "Special Discussion on India's strong, successful, and decisive 'Operation Sindoor' in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam."
During the Pahalgam terror attack, twenty-six civilians were killed on April 22 in Jammu and Kashmir. The terror attack on the tourists impacted the entire nation, after which India retaliated through precision strikes under Operation Sindoor. Operation Sindoor, launched by the Indian government, targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
Keeping in mind that the first week of the Monsoon session of Parliament witnessed major disruptions with the surprise resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar as vice president and protests against the SIR electoral row in Bihar, the coming week can be more interesting in both houses of the Parliament.
As reported by the news agency ANI, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is likely to initiate the discussion on Operation Sindhoor in the Lok Sabha on Monday.
With top leaders from the ruling party, such as Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, and BJP MPs Anurag Thakur and Nishikant Dubey, expected to take part in the discussion in Lok Sabha, things might heat up in the coming week.
Furthermore, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also expected to intervene in the discussion in the Lok Sabha. Sources also suggest that he may also intervene in the discussion in the Rajya Sabha over the heated debate that might put the government under the radar of the opposition.
News agency ANI has also reported that the discussion on Operation Sindoor will begin in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, while the discussion in the Lok Sabha will be initiated on Monday. Rajnath Singh and S. Jaishankar will be among the ministers who will take part in the discussion in the Rajya Sabha, sources said.
TDP's Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu and GM Harish Balayogi are expected to participate in the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha. The sources said the party has been allotted 30 minutes. From the Samajwadi Party, its chief, Akhilesh Yadav, and MP Rajiv Rai will participate in the debate.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju stated that the debate on Operation Sindoor will be held for 16 hours in the Lok Sabha on July 28 and for 16 hours in the Rajya Sabha on July 29, as reported by news agency ANI.
