Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the monsoon session of Parliament was set to be a sitting of celebration and pride over the “success” of Operation Sindoor, which globally demonstrated India’s military capabilities, in remarks made ahead of a likely stormy debate between the Opposition and the government on the strikes launched against Pakistan in the aftermath of the terror attack in Pahalgam in April.

The government is likely to have a 16-hour discussion on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack in Lok Sabha next week, according to Parliament officials. The Opposition, including the Congress, has said the PM must make a statement during the debate, but Modi will likely be away on a visit to the UK and the Maldives.
