16 INDIA Bloc Parties Urge PM Modi For Special Parliament Session To Discuss Pahalgam Terror Attack, Operation Sindoor News24 –


Sixteen opposition parties of India bloc on Tuesday have written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding a special session of the Parliament to discuss Pahalgam terror attack, Operation sindoor and US President Trump’s announcement over ceasefire. 

After the meeting of the INDIA alliance, Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda said, “16 political parties of the INDIA alliance have written a letter to PM Modi that a special session of the Parliament must be called. During the Pahalgam terrorist attack and the conflict between India and Pakistan, all the opposition parties stood in support of our armed forces and the government of India. When America announced a ceasefire, we demanded that a special session of the Parliament be held so that all the parties could thank our armed forces. From Pahalgam to Operation Sindoor to America’s announcement of the ceasefire, we should have discussions on them in the Parliament. We should also discuss how to eradicate terrorism and our further strategies in the Parliament. Now that the Govt of India is putting forward its views in front of the world, I think the govt should do the same in the Parliament as well.”

TMC MP Derek O’ Brien said, “16 parties have written a letter to the Prime Minister demanding a special session of the Parliament…The letter talks about Poonch, Uri, Rajouri and having a free discussion in Parliament. The government is responsible to the Parliament; Parliament is responsible to the people. That’s why we are demanding a special session of the Parliament…The parties that have written a letter to the Prime Minister are the Indian National Congress, Samajwadi Party, AITC, DMK, Shiv Sena (UBT), RJD, Jammu & Kashmir National Conference, CPI (M), IUML, CPI, RSP, JMM, VCK, Kerala Congress, MDMK, Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Liberation…AAP will be writing directly tomorrow to the PM.”

SP MP Ram Gopal Yadav said, “…We want to know which nations supported us. Not even a single nation came out in support of India. This is worrisome. We were unsuccessful on the diplomatic front…US President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire…The public feels that we were forced into a truce. The country’s respect has fallen all over the world after the announcement by US President Donald Trump.”

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said, “There are signatures of 16 political parties on the letter that we have written to the Prime Minister. This is not a normal letter. The opposition is the voice of the public. We want a special session to be called to discuss whatever has happened in the country so far… If a ceasefire was called on the suggestion of President Trump, then why can’t a special session be held even after repeated requests from the Opposition? Should we go to President Trump for a special session?…”
