NEW DELHI:

Defence minister Rajnath Singh briefed the leaders about the action taken by the armed forces, but refused to share details about Operation Sindoor saying the action was still "ongoing".

"There were some queries from the opposition, but the 'Raksha Mantri' (defence minister) said that since this was an ongoing operation there cannot be a separate briefing on every incident," parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju told reporters after the 90-minute meeting.

"This meeting was to evolve a broad political consensus. All the leaders have shown maturity at a time when the nation was faced with big challenges," he said.
