Parliament Monsoon Session Day 2 Live Updates: 16-Hour Debate on Operation Sindoor Scheduled for Next Week

A 16-hour-long debate on Operation Sindoor will be held in Parliament next week, following an announcement by the Business Advisory Committee. The decision comes after persistent demands from the Opposition for a discussion on the matter.

The Opposition had called for the debate to be held this week, insisting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should personally respond. However, the discussion was deferred due to the Prime Minister’s scheduled foreign visit.

Operation Sindoor — India’s military response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir — was one of the eight topics the Opposition had listed for debate during the ongoing monsoon session. These topics were finalised during a virtual meeting of 24 Opposition parties held last week.
