Govt deliberately delayed it: Congress MP Tariq Anwar on Operation Sindoor to be discussed in Parliament

Ahead of the Parliament discussion on Operation Sindoor today, Congress MP Tariq Anwar accused the government of delaying the discussion on important subjects such as Operation Sindoor and US President Trump's repeated claims of playing a role of mediator between India and Pakistan.

Speaking to ANI, Congress MP Anwar said, "There has been a lot of delay. Operation Sindoor, the ceasefire, US President Trump's statement, all these things were very important, and the Prime Minister and the govt should have given them priority, but it was postponed, and after one week, a debate on it will start today (possibly). It seems that the government has deliberately delayed it."

"But according to me, all things will be revealed, and the countrymen will get to know about the incidents of Operation Sindoor through this session of the Lok Sabha," Anwar added.


Lok Sabha is set to hold a special discussion on 'Operation Sindoor', India's military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, on Monday.

A fiery debate on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor is expected to unfold in Parliament, between top leaders from the ruling alliance and the Opposition.

Lok Sabha List of Business for Monday states, "Special Discussion on India's strong, successful and decisive 'Operation Sindoor' in response to terrorist attack in Pahalgam".

Twenty-six civilians were killed in the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, after which India retaliated through precision strikes under Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).

Meanwhile, the first week of the Monsoon session of Parliament witnessed major disruptions with the surprise resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar as Vice President.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is likely to initiate the discussion on Operation Sindhoor in the Lok Sabha on Monday.
