Parliament Monsoon Session Day 6: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla Adjourns The Session Till 1 PM, As Opposition Creates Ruckus

During the special debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called on the Opposition to ask meaningful questions that reflect national interest and accountability.

“It is the Opposition’s duty to question the government on important public issues. But instead of asking how many Pakistani aircraft were shot down, some kept asking how many of our planes were lost,” Singh said. “If you truly want to ask, then ask this — were any of our soldiers harmed during Operation Sindoor? The answer is: No.”

He further added, “Ask whether the masterminds behind the terrorists who wiped off the sindoor (vermilion) of our sisters and daughters were eliminated by our armed forces. The answer is: Yes.”

Rajnath’s remarks were aimed at highlighting the effectiveness of the military operation and urging the Opposition to focus on the real outcomes of India’s counter-terror response.

Lok Sabha session resumed at 2 PM.

Ahead of the parliament session on Operation Sindoor, three Pakistani terrorist have been killed in an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir's Dachigam which falls under Srinagar Police administration. 

As Opposition MPs continued to raise slogans and press their demands in the Lok Sabha, Speaker Om Birla appealed to them to allow the scheduled debate on Operation Sindoor to proceed. "I request you to let the discussion on Operation Sindoor take place in the House," the Speaker said, urging members to maintain order.

With continued disruptions, the Speaker adjourned the House till 1400 hours (2 PM).
