The Congress Working Committee reiterated the demands already made by party president Mallikarjun Kharge and LoP in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for an immediate all-party meeting chaired by PM and the convening of a special session of Parliament.

AICC leader Jairam Ramesh criticised BJP for attempting to project the military action as a "brand of its own." He said the operation belongs to the armed forces and the nation, not to any single political party.
