The seventh day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament witnessed dramatic developments as the opposition escalated its attack on the government over the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor, and the Bihar voter list revision. Proceedings in the Rajya Sabha were adjourned till 2 PM following a disruptive protest, while intense debates are underway in the Lok Sabha, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are expected to present the government’s stance on national security failures and recent political controversies.
Rajya Sabha Disrupted: Opposition Sparks Early Chaos
As the Rajya Sabha session commenced, it was immediately engulfed in uproar. Opposition MPs, shouting slogans and waving placards, expressed their outrage over the government’s handling of several critical issues. Their key grievances included:
The lack of accountability for the Pahalgam terrorist attack.
The controversial remarks made by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh regarding Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar’s voter rolls, which opposition parties claim is politically motivated.
Rajya Sabha Chairman was forced to adjourn the House till 2 PM, as the scene descended into chaos.
Operation Sindoor: Spotlight Turns to Jammu & Kashmir Security
One of the central points of discussion in the Lok Sabha today is Operation Sindoor, a high-stakes military counter-terrorism campaign conducted in Jammu and Kashmir. The terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which resulted in the loss of lives and heightened national security concerns, has triggered sharp debates.
Opposition’s Allegations on Operation Sindoor
Several opposition leaders have accused the government of “event management” and suppressing key military intelligence to align the timing of the operation with the Parliament session.
Congress MP Udit Raj stated that Indian Army’s Operation Mahadev could have neutralized the terrorist earlier, but the action was allegedly delayed to coincide with the parliamentary debate.
He further questioned whether the terrorist was “caught earlier and killed now for optics”, raising doubts about the transparency of the operation.
Rajnath Singh’s Statement on PoK Sparks Political Firestorm
In a controversial statement, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh asserted that the government never intended to take back PoK, contradicting the BJP’s long-standing rhetoric on Akhand Bharat.
Sanjay Raut Condemns Government’s Stance
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut condemned the Defense Minister’s remarks, stating:
“It is now clear this government does not intend to reclaim Pak-occupied Kashmir, nor does it believe in the vision of Akhand Bharat. This is a betrayal of national sentiment and a deviation from BJP’s electoral promises.”
Raut’s statement echoed through political corridors, intensifying demands for clarity on India’s Kashmir policy.
Congress Demands PM Modi’s Direct Response on Pahalgam Attack
Congress MP Pramod Tiwari demanded that PM Modi personally address the Parliament on the Pahalgam terror attack:
“140 crore Indians want to know – who is responsible? Is it the Prime Minister or the Home Minister? The country needs answers.”
Tiwari’s demand reflects widespread public concern about accountability in internal security operations and the handling of intelligence inputs preceding the attack.
BJP Hits Back: Mamata Banerjee Under Fire Over Malda Incident
In a sharp counterattack, BJP MP and Union Minister Sukant Majumdar raised allegations against West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of spreading misinformation regarding a woman from Malda district, Sajnoor Parveen, who claimed Delhi Police assaulted her and her child.
Delhi Police Investigation Refutes Mamata’s Claims
CCTV footage showed no forceful detention.
Parveen allegedly fabricated her story under the influence of a TMC worker relative.
Majumdar demanded a full probe into Mamata Banerjee’s involvement and urged Delhi Police to file an FIR against those responsible for spreading misinformation.
Opposition Demands Discussion on Bihar Voter List Controversy
A bloc of seven Congress Rajya Sabha MPs, including Syed Naseer Hussain, Akhilesh Prasad Singh, and Rajni Patil, submitted a Business Suspension Notice under Rule 267 to demand urgent discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
Claims of Targeted Political Motives
The opposition has alleged that the voter list revision is being misused to manipulate electoral demographics, particularly in constituencies where Dalit, Muslim, and tribal voters hold significant sway. They accused the Election Commission of acting under pressure from the ruling party.
Chhattisgarh Catholic Nuns Issue: Religious Freedom Debate Ignites
Congress MP Hibi Eden introduced a motion in the Lok Sabha to discuss the arrest and alleged torture of two Catholic nuns in Chhattisgarh.
Key Allegations
Illegal detention under fabricated charges.
Denial of bail and mob violence instigated by local authorities.
An attempt to erode secularism and religious freedom.
Eden termed the incident as a direct attack on India’s constitutional values, demanding an immediate discussion and accountability from the Chhattisgarh state government.
Lok Sabha Debates Heat Up: Modi, Shah Expected to Defend Government
As debates on Operation Sindoor continue in the Lok Sabha, PM Modi and Amit Shah are expected to present the government’s defense and clarify the timeline and intent behind the military action. They will also respond to charges of political manipulation, delayed counter-terror actions, and gaps in national security strategy.
With both Houses engulfed in fiery arguments and adjournments, the Monsoon Session has transformed into a battleground of ideologies, governance claims, and national integrity questions.
