Monsoon session 2025 : In a high-stakes political atmosphere, Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the Monsoon Session of Parliament by dedicating it to the triumphant soldiers of Operation Sindoor, asserting that the mission showcased India’s military prowess on the global stage. “The whole world witnessed India’s might. This Parliament session is a celebration of our forces’ bravery,” the Prime Minister said, urging all parties to unite over national interest.
In his pre-session remarks, PM Modi touched upon a spectrum of significant national developments from India’s progress toward a Naxalism-free nation by 2026 to the country’s growing presence in outer space. He commended the armed forces for accomplishing “100% of the mission’s targets,” adding, “Made-in-India weapons proved their power; the homes of the terror masterminds were reduced to rubble within 22 minutes.”
Modi further hailed the transformation of former ‘red corridors’ into ‘green growth zones’, reiterating his government’s commitment to ending left-wing extremism. “Many districts today are free of Naxalism,” he stated.
Opposition Sparks Ruckus Over Sindoor, Pahalgam Attack and Trump’s Ceasefire Claims
Despite the Prime Minister’s call for harmony, the opening session was marked by turbulence. Opposition members in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha demanded a detailed discussion on Operation Sindoor, the Pahalgam terror attack, and former US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that he brokered the ceasefire with Pakistan.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge raised pointed questions in the Rajya Sabha. “The attackers haven’t been arrested or neutralised. The Lieutenant Governor admitted intelligence failure. And Trump has claimed 24 times that the ceasefire was his doing,” Kharge said, further fuelling the demand for transparency.
The Congress party has submitted an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha to discuss both the Pahalgam attack, which resulted in 26 deaths, and Operation Sindoor. Adding to the tension, the opposition raised the Ahmedabad Air India crash, where 260 lives were lost, highlighting growing concerns over aviation safety.
In response, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and BJP leader JP Nadda assured that the government was willing to hold a debate on Op Sindoor. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju reiterated the government’s readiness for open discussions but refrained from addressing Trump’s claims directly.
Meanwhile, a rare bipartisan agreement emerged over the impeachment motion of Justice Yashwant Varma, following a massive cash recovery from his residence. Law Minister Rijiju confirmed that over 100 MPs had signed the motion to initiate proceedings.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar urged all MPs to maintain decorum and engage in “constructive politics”. “Disagreements are natural, but bitterness should not define our politics,” he said.
