During the upcoming Monsoon Session, Parliament is set for a 16-hour marathon debate on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack. A central question revolves around whether the Congress party will allow its eloquent MP, Shashi Tharoor, to speak on these critical national security issues, especially given his past 'nation first' stand that diverged from the party line. While the ruling BJP plans to emphasize Operation Sindoor's success, the opposition Congress aims to challenge the government on intelligence failures and President Donald Trump's controversial claims. Key ministers and potentially Prime Minister Narendra Modi are expected to address both houses, with Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge leading their party's charge.
