Rahul, Kharge demand special Parl session on Pahalgam attack

A day after a US-brokered ceasefire was announced between India and Pakistan, the Opposition led by Congress on Sunday urged PM Narendra Modi-led BJP government to call for a special Parliament session, post “Operation Sindoor” and subsequent truce with the western neighbour.

Leaders of the Opposition in both Houses have written to the PM, urging him to call a special Parliament session.

In his letter, LoP in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said he “reiterates the unanimous request of the Opposition to convene a special session of Parliament immediately”. It is crucial for the people and their representatives to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor and the ceasefire, first announced by US President Trump. This will also be an opportunity to demonstrate our collective resolve to meet the challenges ahead,” Rahul said in the letter. Mallikarjun Kharge, LoP in the Rajya Sabha, in a separate letter, said he supported Rahul Gandhi’s request.
