Operation Sindoor: Opposition Demands Accountability Amid Rising Tensions

In a heated Lok Sabha session on Monday, the Opposition targeted the government over alleged security lapses that resulted in the Pahalgam attack, demanding accountability from Home Minister Amit Shah. Congress MPs questioned the abrupt cessation of Operation Sindoor and demanded answers on the status of Indian jets during the operation.

The Congress, led by Gaurav Gogoi, slammed the government for its handling of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and criticized US President Donald Trump's claims of facilitating a ceasefire. Gogoi emphasized the need for India to reclaim PoK and criticized the government's perceived inaction.

MPs across parties called for the modernization of Indian defense forces, clearer answers on foreign policy stances, and cautioned against complacency in national security matters. The demands for transparency and accountability highlighted the tensions and political challenges facing the government.
