Govt ready for discussion on Op Sindoor: J P Nadda in RS
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha and Union Minister JP Nadda on Monday said that the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was ready for discussion on Op Sindoor and assured that it would allow a full debate on Operation Sindoor.
Such an operation has never happened since the country got its independence, Nadda said.
Nadda said that Mallikarjun Kharge began to discuss minute details of Operation Sindoor and Pahalgam terror attack, which he says was against Kharge's notice mentioned under Rule 267.
Nadda also said that the government is ready to discuss both the issues. He said that the government has agreed to discuss the matters during the Business Advisory Council meeting and is always ready to discuss any issue.
"Am not going into the details of it but I will like to tell you Samik Bhattaracharya under Rule 167 on his own has put in the Business Advisory Commitee and that Bharat Sarkar under PM Modi is willing to discuss on every issue and everything will be discussed," Nadda said.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar said that he has agreed for a full-fledged discussion on Operation Sindoor and that he has admitted the motion.
Several opposition members, including Leader of Opposition and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, had given adjournment notices to take up immediate discussion after setting aside all listed business. Raising the issue, Kharge said US President Donald Trump's repeated claims that he mediated between India and Pakistan to bring about a cease-fire during the Operation Sindoor was "humiliating" for the country. Leader of the House and senior BJP Leader J P Nadda countered Kharge, saying the government is ready to hold detailed discussion on the issue, and is "not running away" from any debate.
The House witnessed a brief adjournment due to opposition uproar during the Zero Hour, and also a walkout by Congress when the Rajya Sabha reassembled for the Question Hour at 12 noon. Kharge, along with several opposition members in the Rajya Sabha, had submitted adjournment notices (under Rule 267) to take up discussion on the terror attack in Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor after suspending the listed business of the day. Raising the issue during the Zero Hour, the Congress President made a case for a two-day debate on the Pahalgam attack, Operation Sindoor, alleged security lapses and foreign policy. “The Prime Minister should answer,” he demanded. Recalling that the Pahalgam terror attack that took place on April 22, Kharge lamented that the terrorists who carried the attack have neither been caught nor killed till date.
Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha himself has admitted that there has been a lapse in Pahalgam, he added. Kharge said all political parties had given unconditional support to the government. “In such a situation, we want to know from the government what is the complete situation?,” he said. The senior Congress leader further said the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Deputy Army Chief and one of the senior Defence Attache have made some revelations regarding Operation Sindoor. “Apart from this, the government should also clarify its stand on the statement of US President Donald Trump, because he has claimed not once but 24 times that he got the ceasefire done. This is humiliating for the country,” he said. Responding to Kharge’s demands, Leader of the House and Union Minister J P Nadda asserted that the government was ready to discuss all issues related to Operation Sindoor.
Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar also assured agitating Opposition MPs that he will ensure a full-fledged discussion on the issue for as much time as members want. Dhankhar said he will discuss the issue with leaders of various parties, as he adjourned the House proceedings briefly till 12 noon amid uproar by Opposition benches. When the House met at 12 noon for the scheduled Question Hour, the Congress party again raised the issue, and later staged a walkout from the House in protest. Operation Sindoor, initiated on May 7, 2025, in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 innocent civilians, launched a calibrated, tri-services response that embodied precision, professionalism, and purpose. Operation Sindoor was conceived as a punitive and targeted campaign to dismantle the terror infrastructure across the Line of Control and deeper inside Pakistan. A ceasefire was announced on May 10.
