Oppn seeks discussion
NEW DELHI: The opposition on Sunday questioned the "external mediation" in brokering a cease-fire agreement between India and Pakistan, and sought a special session of Parliament which will serve as "an opportunity to demonstrate our collective resolve".
The opposition charge was led by the Congress, with both leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and LoP in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge writing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and seeking discussion on the April 22 Pahalgam attack and the escalation of border conflict in the days that followed.
"It is crucial for people and their representatives to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor and the ceasefire, first announced by US President Trump. This will also be an opportunity to demonstrate our collective resolve to meet the challenges ahead," Congress leader Gandhi said.
