New Delhi: Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were hit by brief adjournments in the morning after Opposition protested demanding a discussion on Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. Members criticised the government saying that the perpetrators of the terror attack were yet to be caught and demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s presence in the House.
Union Minister J.P. Nadda, in Rajya Sabha, said that the government is ready for any discussion regarding the issues.
The Government is open to discussing all issues in Parliament, including Operation Sindoor, it said in an all-party meeting held on the eve of the monsoon session, which begins on Monday (July 21, 2025). At the same time, it cautioned the Opposition that any debate on the subject has to be held within the laid-down rules and procedures.
At the all-party meeting, the Opposition parties, meanwhile, insisted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should respond on the matter, as well as on U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that he brokered peace between India and Pakistan. They also demanded a discussion on the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju made it clear that the final call on discussions in Parliament will be taken by the Business Advisory Committees of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The Houses of Parliament will have 21 sittings during the Monsoon Session.
