External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said that Pakistan crossed "red lines" with the Pahalgam terror attack and affirmed it was important to send a "clear and strong message" to the neighbouring country, known for supporting cross-border terrorism.
While a heated debate continues in parliament over Operation Sindoor, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi voiced his concern on Monday over the upcoming cricket match between India and Pakistan in the 2025 Asia Cup and raised questions regarding accountability for the Pahalgam attack.
Earlier, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that India successfully neutralised any attack by Pakistan, and that no important assets of the Indian armed forces were damaged during the hostilities between India and Pakistan after the launch of Operation Sindoor on May 7 this year.
Congress leaders Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tewari, who were part of the delegations India sent to partner countries to highlight its stand against cross-border terrorism, would not be among Congress speakers during debate on after Operation Sindoor in Lok Sabha, sources said.
Speaking to ANI, Yadav raised concerns over the government's failure to apprehend the terrorists behind the recent Pahalgam attack and criticised its silence on China's growing involvement in regional tensions.
His comments come in the wake of a political storm over statements made by Chidambaram ahead of a discussion in Parliament on Operation Sindoor, India's counter-response following the deadly terror attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which took the lives of 26 people.
Chidambaram questioned the government's narrative on the attack, suggesting that the terrorists could be "homegrown" and asking for evidence to prove they came from Pakistan. He also criticised the government for not disclosing details about Operation Sindoor.
He said that Shashi Tharoor speaks well, but his leadership doesn't allow him to speak on behalf of his party. However, he expressed his happiness that no one could stop Tharoor from speaking in favour of the country.
According to the Uppal police station Sub-Inspector, the deceased, Gundla Rakesh, was a native of Khammam district and worked for a private company in Hyderabad. He was playing with friends at the stadium, which falls under the Uppal police station limits, when he suddenly collapsed.
BJP MP Baijayant Jay Panda, during the discussion on Operation Sindoor in Parliament, told the House that it appears that at least one terrorist involved in the Pahalgam attack has been neutralised in an ongoing anti-terror operation, Mahadev, in Jammu and Kashmir.
Congress MP Karti Chidambaram on Monday defended his father P Chidambaram's recent remarks about the Pahalgam attack, and said people were trolling a small part of the interview without understanding the full context.
