Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to speak in the House at 12 noon on Tuesday.
During a charged debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, Union Home Minister Amit Shah erupted in anger as Opposition MPs repeatedly interrupted External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar’s address. Visibly furious, Shah slammed the Opposition for questioning India’s diplomatic handling of the post-Pahalgam attack response. “Won’t you trust your own foreign minister?” he thundered, drawing loud support from the treasury benches. His outburst underscored the government’s frustration with what they viewed as politically motivated disruption during a critical national security discussion.
Earlier, EAM Jaishankar had been detailing India’s firm diplomatic retaliation after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives. “Our goals at the UN Security Council were clear — ensure accountability and justice,” he said, noting that despite Pakistan’s presence in the Council, India secured strong condemnation and international backing. He accused the Opposition of failing to envision bold counter-terror diplomacy during their own tenure.
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi countered, saying, “The Defence Minister spoke at length but failed to address how the terrorists managed to reach Pahalgam.” His pointed remarks reignited Opposition pressure.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had earlier defended Operation Sindoor, stating that all objectives were met and warning that the mission remains “paused, not ended,” ready to resume if provoked.
AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi delivers a searing rebuke in the Lok Sabha during the discussion on Operation Sindoor, questioning the moral compass of the government for not holding Pakistan accountable enough after the Pahalgam massacre. “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?” he asks, in a pointed attack on the government’s stand on diplomacy and sporting ties. He slams the perceived contradiction in India’s posture: “We are stopping 80% of Pakistan’s water, saying that water and blood will not flow together. Will you...
BJP MP Anurag Thakur explodes in the opposite direction for not condemning hard enough the brutalism of the most recent Pahalgam terror attack. “Not one opposition leader has said that the attackers asked the religion of tourists, stripped them, and then murdered them in cold blood,” he says while addressing a fiery holler at the Lok Sabha. He also underscores the repeated endeavors of Prime Minister Modi to pursue peace with Pakistan while adding, “Pakistan has always responded with terrorism.” Thakur also praises India’s firm response, saying: “This is the new India we won’t send dossiers; we’ll send terrorists to their graves.” India...
Supriya Sule, MP from NCP (SP), stood in the Lok Sabha against Tejasvi Surya of the BJP, saying, “He has insulted lakhs of Indian security personnel by stating that Jawaharlal Nehru did not feel the need for an armed force.” “The country comes before politics and family,” she says. Sule also reminisces about Union Minister Kiren Rijiju’s request to give ten days for the nation. “It was PM Modi’s generosity to include the opposition to represent the nation. This is a thriving democracy; we are not narrow thinkers like Tejasvi Surya.” The show of unity, Sule emphasizes, came during Operation Sindoor: “The Congress...
Congress MP Praniti Shinde mounts a frontal attack on the Modi government, accusing it of not listening to opposition voices and the sentiments of the general public. “Neither does the government listen to us nor to the people,” she charged in the House, alleging that “dirty politics and distractions” seems to be the focus of the Centre. Shinde also argues that the government does not seem to know what was recently done in the Pahalgam terror attack. “They don’t even know who the attackers were or where they came from,” she said in questioning the preparedness and intelligence of the Centre.

Tejasvi Surya, MP of BJP, pronounces Operation Sindoor a vindication of diplomacy and military prowess. “All the world has accepted that Operation Sindoor was a successful operation. Every country we travelled to stood with India,” he says, referring to the international support for India’s actions. Surya also ends up at Congress, accusing it of dividing the armed forces. “It was the Congress that brought casteism into the Army,” he alleges. In a sharp political attack, he adds: “Prime Minister Modi is the defender of India, while Congress represents the surrender forces of India.” (function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push(["_mgc.load"])})(window,"_mgq"); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1752148780792-0'); }); ...
