A high-stakes discussion on Operation Sindoor is set to unfold in the Rajya Sabha today, with top ministers expected to articulate India’s military and diplomatic response to terrorism in the region. This marks the second day of Parliamentary deliberations on the daring counter-terror operation, which has become a defining moment in India's national security narrative.
There is strong speculation in political circles that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may personally take part in the discussion — a move that would signal the government’s clear intent to place national security at the center of its policy and political messaging.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will once again lead the government’s charge in the Upper House. Both ministers had delivered assertive addresses in the Lok Sabha on Monday, emphasizing the multi-layered military and diplomatic effort behind the operation.
Rajnath Singh had warned Pakistan in no uncertain terms: “Let this be a clear message to those who support terror. India will respond decisively to any act of aggression.” His remarks, coupled with details of India's precision strikes across the border, were met with thunderous applause from the treasury benches.
Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, was a coordinated military campaign in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives, including innocent tourists. In Singh’s Lok Sabha address, he revealed that over 100 terrorists were neutralized, and nine terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir were destroyed by Indian forces using high-precision air and artillery strikes.
S. Jaishankar, while detailing India’s diplomatic engagement, highlighted the global support New Delhi received for the operation, noting that several key nations acknowledged India's right to self-defense and condemned terrorism emanating from across the border.
