Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday slammed the opposition political parties for demanding a debate on Operation Sindoor, terming it a strategic misstep that backfired on them.
Her latest remarks came after External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, while intervening in the debate on Operation Sindoor, reiterated in the Rajya Sabha that PM Modi and US President Donald Trump did not speak on phone between April 22 and June 16.
The minister stated that several countries were in touch with India when Operation Sindoor commenced, but the government gave a clear message to them that ''we are not open to any mediation''.
Earlier in the day, while intervening in the Operation Sindoor debate, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi dared PM Modi to call Trumo a liar.
Sending out a clear message to Pakistan, the Prime Minister said that India will respond if there is a terrorist attack in the country and that it will not see terrorist-supporting governments and terror masterminds as two separate entities.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused the Modi government of lacking "100 percent political will" as well as failing to provide "freedom of operation" to the armed forces when it decided to attack terrorist targets in PoK and Pakistan under Operation Sindoor.
Priyanka cornered the government over the security lapse, asking why there was no security personnel present at the Baisaran Valley in Pahalgam where the attack took place.
The BJP leader said that Tharoor and Tewari were not allowed to speak as Congress fears they would tell the House how the world criticised the terror attack and stood with India.
When asked to explain his tweet, the Congress leader told reporters outside Parliament: "There is a saying in English- 'If you don't understand my silences, you will never understand my words'."
Owaisi also questioned the government over the security lapse in Pahalgam, where terrorists gunned down 26 innocent civilians, mostly tourists, in April this year.
