Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday affirmed in the Lok Sabha that no leader of any country asked India to stop Operation Sindoor but lamented that while the nation got support from the entire world the Congress and its allies could not stand behind the valour of the nation’s soldiers.
Responding to the two-day debate on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor in the Lower House, he said no country in the world stopped India from taking action in its defence against terrorism.
Meanwhile, the Opposition in Rajya Sabha, asked the Union government to explain why the country had accepted a ceasefire with Pakistan when Pakistan had been on the backfoot.
The “political leadership” of the country had failed to defend the “military leadership”, and no effort had been made to expose the “Pakistan-China nexus” at global forums, Opposition members alleged. They also questioned the silence of the BJP over a Madhya Pradesh Minister’s controversial comments on Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, and the social media attack on Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and his daughter.
