"PM Modi will not come...": Sanjay Raut on Operation Sindoor discussion in Lok Sabha

New Delhi [India], July 28 (ANI): Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Monday claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not attend the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha.
Raut argued that PM Modi will not attend because then he will have to question US President Donald Trump's repeated claims of mediating the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan through trade.
"I think the Prime Minister will not come as he will have to answer questions about President Trump," Raut said.
Sanjay Raut further called the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed, a "huge security lapse" questioning the efforts of the Central government to nabbed the terrorists.
"The Pahalgam attack was a huge security lapse in Centre-governed J-K. The terrorists entered 400 km inside J-K. These terrorists have not been found yet. This is a lapse on the part of the Home Ministry. The Home Minister should have resigned," Raut said.
The opposition has been raising questions over Donald Trump's repeated claims, demanding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi refute the US President's remarks.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to take part in the discussion on Operation Sindoor scheduled to be held in the Lok Sabha today.
Meanwhile, Proceedings of both houses of Parliament have been adjourned until noon on Monday, shortly after they convened amid ruckus over demands for discussions on various issues, including Operation Sindoor and the voter list revision exercise being carried out in Bihar.
Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla adjourned the lower house proceedings till noon amid sloganeering by the opposition as multiple MPs held banners and protested at the well of the house.
Before adjourning the house till noon in Question Hour, the Lok Sabha Speaker said that opposition members were deliberately disturbing the proceedings of the house. He asked Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi to instruct members of his party not to display posters, as that is not the purpose of sending MPs to Parliament.
He said members resorting to such a protest were lowering the dignity of the house. The Speaker said that members are not being allowed to speak in Question Hour, and the people of the country are watching. The house is being disturbed deliberately, he said.
"Respected members, do you want to obstruct the house? Do you not want to discuss Operation Sindoor? Both Gogoi and people from the government had come (for an all-party meeting), you said to do a discussion on Operation Sindoor, now you are interrupting the house. Question hour is the members' most important time," Birla said before adjourning the lower house.
Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha was also adjourned until noon today amid a ruckus raised by the opposition after Deputy Chairperson Harivansh Narayan Singh declined notices demanding a discussion on the closure of government schools in Uttar Pradesh. (ANI)
