PM should make statement in Parliament on "understanding" between India, Pakistan: CPI

New Delhi [India], May 12 (ANI): Communist Party of India (CPI) general secretary D Raja on Monday said the government should convene a special session of Parliament to discuss Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor and India's understanding with Pakistan on cessation of hostilities and demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should make a statement on the floor of the House.
"We don't know how the mediation happened, how the discussions took place, or what details were involved during the mediation. That is why we are demanding that Prime Minister Modi should take the people and the country into confidence and tell the truth," Raja told ANI.
"The Prime Minister should make a clear statement on the floor of the Parliament, which is the supreme institution of our democracy," he added.
Meanwhile, BJP MP Sambit Patra lauded the Indian Armed Forces for Operation Sindoor and stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised he would "avenge" the death of 26 people in Pahalgam terror attack.
Sambit Patra briefed the reporters at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi on Monday and stated that from April 22 to May 7, there was a demand for immediate action within the country.
The BJP MP said that PM Modi promised to take revenge for the Pahalgam attack which will be beyond the imagination of the enemy. He added that the Indian Armed Forces fulfilled their promise and " despite surgical strikes in the past, Pakistan could not guess when it would be struck."
The Indian Armed Forces' May 7 precision strikes under Operation Sindoor have dismantled nine major terror camps associated with the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
Five of the nine terror camps were located in PoK, and the other four in Pakistan.
Among the destroyed camps in Pakistan, two of those, Muridke and Bhawalpur not only were put to use as residences for some notorious terrorists but also as epicentres for radicalisation and various training courses of LeT and JeM.
Among the key terror operatives eliminated in the operation was Rauf Azhar the brother-in-law of JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar. Rauf Azhar a proscribed terrorist was wanted for his part in the conspiracy to hijack IC-814. (ANI)
