Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE News Updates: As Parliament gears up for a 16-hour marathon debate today, NDA MPs and Opposition leaders are holding protests at Makar Dawar. The Lok Sabha is set to hold a fiery debate on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. Discussion on US President Donald Trump’s claim of mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor will also be taken up today. The Rajya Sabha is scheduled to take up the discussion on the matter on Tuesday.
16-hour debate: Both sides have agreed to a marathon 16-hour debate in each House. According to sources, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will speak on the issue, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi likely to intervene. In addition, the ruling NDA is expected to field its members from the seven multi-party delegations that travelled to over 30 world capitals to present India’s case following Operation Sindoor. Whether the Congress will allow Shashi Tharoor to speak on the matter remains uncertain, as he has been at odds with his party after praising the Modi government’s handling of the situation while leading a delegation to the US and other countries.
