Reacting to the demand of the Congress for a special session of Parliament, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Monday said that the government will decide, adding that the Congress must stand with the nation.
"A special session will be conducted or not; it will be decided by the government. Right now, the Congress must stand with the nation," Naqvi told ANI. The BJP leader said that Pakistan will not be spared if it troubles India. "There is a loud and clear message to the terrorists and their masters that this land (Indian land) is the land of their destruction. Today, terrorism is being hit, but its masters are the ones who are whining. So, it shows that it is being hit at the right place. Our army has shown the right message, 'Goli ka jawaab gole se milega'. You will not be spared if you trouble us," he added. On May 11, PM Modi had given clear directions to the Armed forces to respond to cross-border firing and shelling with full force, saying "Wahan se goli chalegi, toh yahan se gola," sources said. On Sunday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi wrote letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to convene a special session of the Parliament. Rahul Gandhi reiterated 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 today's ceasefire, first announced by U.S. President Trump. This will also be an opportunity to demonstrate our collective resolve to meet the challenges ahead. I trust that you will consider this demand seriously and swiftly," Rahul Gandhi said. Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 to strike multiple terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir after a deadly attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam last month. (ANI)
