"Will seek answers from the government...", says Congress leader Vijay Vasanth
Jul 21, 2025
New Delhi [India], July 21 : Congress MP Vijayakumar alias Vijay Vasanth said that the leaders of the INDIA alliance will raise questions in the House and seek answers from the government in the Monsoon session of the Parliament, which is starting from today.
Vijay Vasanth said, "The monsoon session is starting from today. The INDIA alliance held a meeting on July 19 and decided to raise some issues in the House. Our leaders will raise them in the House and seek answers from the government. There are many doubts in the minds of the people about the Pahalgam attack, Operation Sindoor..."
The opposition is also likely to corner the government on United States President Donald Trump's repeated claims of brokering peace between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. This is the first session of Parliament being held after Operation Sindoor, India's precision strike on terror camps in the aftermath of the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 people.
Earlier, the Opposition had demanded that the Centre convene a special session of Parliament in the wake of Operation Sindoor. The INDIA bloc will demand justice for the victims and question the government's handling of the attack.
Communist Party of India (CPI) Rajya Sabha MP P Sandosh Kumar has moved a notice of a motion before the Rajya Sabha to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor, and United States President Donald Trump's repeated claims of brokering peace between India and Pakistan.
Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury has also moved a Notice of Motion in Rajya Sabha to discuss the issue of Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor in the house.
The notice by Renuka Chowdhury reads, "The matter becomes even more serious in light of former US President Donald Trump's repeated public statements-made 24 times so far, most recently on July 19-claiming that he personally mediated the ceasefire between India and Pakistan and used trade leverage to end hostilities."
United States President Donald Trump on Friday once again claimed to have mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan and said that five jets were shot down during Operation Sindoor, which was India's response to the Pahalgam terror attack in April.
Trump said, "We stopped a lot of wars. And these were serious, India and Pakistan, that was going on. Planes were being shot out of there. I think five jets were shot down, actually. These are two serious nuclear countries, and they were hitting each other.
The Monsoon Session of Parliament is set to begin today on a stormy note, with the Opposition INDIA bloc gearing up to corner the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Centre on several key issues, including the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor, Bihar Special Intensive Revision (SIR), and the Air India (AI) 171 crash.
