The Lok Sabha will hold a special discussion on Operation Sindoor on Monday, followed by the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, Union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju said on Friday.
He said a total of 32 hours, 16 in each House, have been allocated for the debate.
“The Business Advisory Committee has decided that a special discussion on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor will be held in the Lok Sabha on Monday,” Rijiju said.
“There are several issues the Opposition wants to raise, but we have agreed that Operation Sindoor will be taken up first,” he added.
Rijiju also said that prior to the commencement of the session, Opposition parties, including the Congress, had written to the government demanding a discussion on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. “We conveyed to them that we are ready for the discussion,” he said.
However, he added, “The Opposition began disrupting proceedings from day one and protested both inside and outside the House. We could pass only one Bill in the first week. I appeal to the Opposition not to stall the House. They may raise every issue under the rules. It’s a loss for the country if Parliament doesn’t function.”
He said that there should be no doubt that proceedings to remove Justice Yashwant Varma will begin in the Lok Sabha.
