NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday called on the BJP-led Union government to convene a Parliament session to discuss Operation Sindoor, India's military retaliation to terror attack in Pahalgam, saying that Pakistan has convened its Parliament and held discussions.

Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, the leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his public statements after the military operation and asked him to refrain from self-praise, urging him to recuse himself from the election campaign.

"We must know when to speak what. There should be unity in national matters and a focus on defeating our opponents. All leaders across the country should remain silent regarding matters of national security. It's better to understand what has happened before speaking about it," Kharge said.
