Jammu and Kashmir will be free of terrorism, says Amit Shah during Op Sindoor debate in Rajya Sabha
Union home minister in Rajya Sabha: "Earlier, we only kept sending dossiers, but Narendra Modi gave a reply to them (Pakistan) with airstrike and surgical strike. Khauf paida ho gaya."
Amit Shah in Rajya Sabha: "Yesterday, you (Congress) were asking why they (Pahalgam terrorists) were killed on this day? Why should they not have been killed yesterday? Because Rahul Gandhi was supposed to deliver his speech? It doesn't work like this. The entire country is seeing that Congress' priority is not national security and ending terrorism but it is politics, their vote bank and appeasement politics."
On Monday, our security forces conducted Operation Mahadev, in which three terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack were killed, Shah said
"There was a demand from the Opposition that the PM should come to the House and give a reply. If the PM doesn't come to the House despite being present in Parliament premises, then it is an insult to the House," says LoP, Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge
Union Home Minister Amit Shah had informed the House that the Prime Minister was present in his office after the Opposition kept making demands for a reply from the PM.
Opposition MPs then stages a walk out from Rajya Sabha.
JP Nadda speaking in Rajya Sabha on Operation Sindoor: "A former defence minister had said, 'India has a policy that the best defence is to not develop the borders. Undeveloped border is safer than developed border'. A former home minister had said, 'Mujhe Kashmir jaane mein darr lagta hai'. We had lived in darkness in this country. From 2014-2025, terror attacks stopped in the country except in Jammu & Kashmir."
From 2004 to 2014, bomb blasts used to happen in every city. The government at that time was insensitive. We had the same police and army, but there was no political will back then. At the 2009 SCO Summit, there was not even a mention of the major terrorist attack that took place in 2008: JP Nadda in Rajya Sabha
We need to understand the limits of their (then Congress govt) appeasement that after 2008 Jaipur bomb blasts by Indian Mujahideen, India and Pakistan agreed on a specific confidence-building measures. Woh hume goliyoon se bhunte rahe aur hum unko biryani khilane chale. They gave permission for a triple-entry permit to cross LoC: JP Nadda
The then government took no action in 2005 Delhi Serial bomb blasts, 2006 Varanasi terror attack, 2006 Mumbai local trains bomb blasts....the point is - terror and trade and tourism continued between India and Pakistan then: JP Nadda
Entire truth will come out if PM Modi calls Trump a liar: Rahul Gandhi alleges India being pressured amid trade deal
On US President Donald Trump's statement on ceasefire and tariffs, Congress MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa says, "Yesterday, the PM should have categorically said that America had no hand in the ceasefire and their President is lying. If Trump made a statement against today, then when the PM came to the House today, he should have said that the US President is lying again, and we did not agree to the ceasefire due to anyone's arm-twisting. The PM has to answer that the Indian Army does not work on someone else's orders."
Congress MP Pramod Tiwari says, "Yesterday, a large number of people were upset with PM Modi. People wanted that for once, Prime Minister Modi would show courage and say that what Trump said is wrong."
On communication with the US during Operation Sindoor, EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, "On May 9, US Vice President Vance called up the Prime Minister to warn him that a Pakistani attack would come in the next few hours. PM made it very clear that if anything happened, it would get an appropriate response. That happened, and our response disabled the Pakistani air defence systems and made their airfields inoperable."
I went to China and whatever I did there, whoever I met was done publicly, unlike somer others 'China gurus' who do secret meetings.
Congress PM's were visiting China when Pakistan and China were signing friendship treaties, said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. He said, "We are dealing with the consequences of those meetings."
"Main unko kehna chahta hoon, woh kaan kholke sun le. 22 April se 16 June tak, ek bhi phone call President Trump aur Prime Minister Modi ke beech mein nahi hua." says EAM Dr S Jaishankar during discussion on Operation Sindoor in Rajya Sabha
EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, "In the last decade, we have been able to put terrorism on the global agenda. Whether it is BRICS, SCO, QUAD or at the bilateral level."
S Jaishankar said, "When Operation Sindoor commenced, a number of countries were in touch with us to see how serious the situation was and how long it would go... We gave the same message to all the countries that we were not open to any mediation. Anything between us and Pakistan will only be bilateral... And that we were responding to the Pakistani attack, and we would keep responding. If that fighting was to stop, Pakistan must make a request. And that request could only come through the channel of the DGMO."
S Jaishankar told Rajya Sabha that we targeted known terrorist safe havens in Pakistan on May 7 (Operation Sindoor).
S Jaishankar said in the Rajya Sabha that India under the Modi government was able to put terrorism on the global agenda. We are putting pressure on the terror organisations. Got the Resistance Front listed as a terrorist organisation.
On Indus Water Treaty, EAM S Jaishankar says, "The Indus Water Treaty will be held in abeyance until Pakistan irrevocably gives up its support of terrorism. Blood and water will not flow together."
Pahalgam terror attack absolutely unacceptable, redline crossed; there had to be accountability, justice, said Jaishankar in the Rajya Sabha
S Jaishankar informed Rajya Sabha that the immediate resolve of Operation Sindoor was to punish Pakistan. India faces cross-border challenge since 1947, he added.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar speaks in the Rajya Sabha. The House is discussing Operation Sindoor.
On the SIR issue, JD (U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha says, "A survey is being conducted door-to-door in Bihar. This was also done in 2003. This is not the first time... Revising the voter list and conducting elections is the job of the Election Commission. The opposition knows what the outcome of the elections in Bihar will be..."
On US President Donald Trump's statement on tariffs, Rajya Sabha LoP and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge says, "I said yesterday that by the end of my speech, the count will increase to 30 (Donald Trump's statement on ceasefire between Indian and Pakistan). The US President kept saying this again and again, but they don't have the courage to say that he is lying. They don't have the courage to say that we don't tolerate such nonsense. 'Dal mein kuch kaala hai', that is why they are not saying anything."
On her now-expunged remarks on 'Operation Sindoor' in Lok Sabha, Congress MP Praniti Shinde says, "If the families of those 26 people are affected, we are willing to say sorry 1000 times. But we will never apologise to these trolls and the Andh-bhakts of the BJP. The BJP has used Operation Sindoor for their PR tactics and optics. This is the stand we maintain even till today..."
On PM Modi's speech yesterday, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey says, "PM Modi said that when the US Vice President JD Vance spoke with him, PM Modi said that if Pakistan attacks us, we will attack with twice the force. It is not like you are doing anything secretly, writing letters, pleading and surrendering. This is not the Gandhi family. I said yesterday that Nehru ji fought the war in 1962 along with America. We gave our Charbatia airport to them for use and signed an agreement with them in 1963. Nuclear devices are stored in Nanda Devi, due to which the entire Himalayan region of Uttarakhand, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh is facing problems because we allowed America to store its nuclear equipment. We supported America in the Vietnam War. The entire Gandhi family has sold this country. They have distorted the history of this country, and they have been surrendering throughout their lives."
AAP MP Sanjay Singh gives Suspension of Business notice under Rule 267 to discuss the issue of SIR (Special Intensive Revision).
Ruling alliance MPs in the Rajya Sabha hailed the government's "decisive action" against the Pahalgam terror attack, which was discussed during a special discussion on Operation Sindoor in both Houses of Parliament on Tuesday. Participating in a debate in the Upper House, NCP MP Praful Patel said the April 22 attack in Jammu and Kashmir shook the conscience of the nation.For the first time, people were identified by religion and shot in cold blood in the Pahalgam attack, he said.
AIMIM leader Waris Pathan said, "Asaduddin Owaisi’s speech in Parliament during the debate on Operation Sindoor was historic. The way he questioned the Government of India was truly admirable."
On PM Modi's speech in Lok Sabha, Congress MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa says, "We do not need a certificate from Prime Minister Modi or Union Home Minister Amit Shah for our patriotism. The world knows what role the Congress Party has played in the country's independence. The Prime Minister should not take credit for this himself, but should give it to our armed forces. We should not have accepted the ceasefire and should have divided Pakistan into three parts."
