LIVE UPDATE | Parliament Monsoon Session: Amid PM Demand, Amit Shah Tells Opposition — ‘I Can Handle You’

Home Minister Amit Shah, addressing the Rajya Sabha, responded sharply to the Congress party’s questions over the timing of the operation that eliminated the Pahalgam terrorists. He said: “Yesterday, you (Congress) were asking why they (Pahalgam terrorists) were killed on this day? Why should they not have been killed yesterday? Because Rahul Gandhi was supposed to deliver his speech? It doesn't work like this. The entire country is seeing that Congress' priority is not national security and ending terrorism but it is politics, their vote bank and appeasement politics.” Shah criticized the Opposition for prioritizing political agendas over national security....

Home Minister Amit Shah, while speaking on the elimination of the terrorists involved in the April 22 Pahalgam attack, said that all three were neutralised during Operation Mahadev with headshots.

“Teeno ke sar mei goli lagi hai,” he stated in the Rajya Sabha.

“Why call the PM? He has already replied in the Lok Sabha. I am giving the reply, no!”

As Union Home Minister Amit Shah started his response during the Rajya Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor, the Opposition erupted in loud sloganeering, disrupting proceedings.

While Hawaii and Japan have downgraded their tsunami warnings, Chile has escalated its alert to the highest level for large stretches of its Pacific coastline, according to AP. The country’s national emergency service has begun evacuating hundreds from coastal regions, and classes have been suspended for students in most affected areas.

The tsunami advisory issued for coastal regions of California has been cancelled, according to a report by Reuters. A similar advisory affecting the area from the Mexico border to Rincon Point has also been lifted. The warnings were initially prompted by a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula earlier today.

Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai told the Lok Sabha on Wednesday that the situation in Manipur remains peaceful, and law and order are under control. He added that since the imposition of presidential rule, there has been only one fatality linked to conflict in the state.

Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, BJD MP Sasmit Patra reflected on the all-party delegation’s visit to the UAE, Congo, Sierra Leone, and Liberia following Operation Sindoor. He said: "As a member of the all-party delegation that visited UAE, Congo, Sierra Leone and Liberia in the wake of Operation Sindoor, we had an excellent understanding and a fruitful all-party delegation wherever we went... We do not wage war, we do not seek glory, but when our people are attacked, India responds with a fury that is disciplined, deliberate and devastating. In 22 minutes, we proved that our silence is not weakness, it is...

Speaking during the Rajya Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said several nations had reached out to India to gauge the seriousness and duration of the conflict. He emphasized India’s firm stance on the issue, stating, "When Operation Sindoor commenced, a number of countries were in touch with us to see how serious the situation was and how long it would go... We gave the same message to all the countries... that we were not open to any mediation. Anything between us and Pakistan will only be bilateral. And that we were responding to the Pakistani...

Union Minister JP Nadda told the Rajya Sabha that following the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, stone pelting incidents have dropped from over 2,000 (recorded between 2010–2014) to zero. He stated that the Valley hasn’t experienced a single day of shutdown in the past three years. “Local terrorism has now ended; only foreign terrorists are active,” Nadda said, adding that the average life span of a terrorist is now just seven days—crediting the government’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism.

During the Monsoon Session, Union Minister JP Nadda alleged that top officials during the UPA regime had deliberately chosen not to retaliate against Pakistan following the 2008 Jaipur bomb blasts.

“It is on record that the highest-ranking government officials — including the Foreign Secretary and the National Security Advisor — decided against responding to Pakistan. There was no retaliation,” Nadda said.

He added, “That’s why I maintain — it was the same police, the same army, but the leadership then lacked the political will to act.”

In the Rajya Sabha, Union Minister JP Nadda remarked, “A former Defence Minister once claimed that India's strategy was to keep its borders underdeveloped, believing an undeveloped border to be safer than a developed one. Similarly, a former Home Minister admitted, ‘I’m afraid to go to Kashmir.’ This reflects the kind of mindset that once prevailed. For years, the nation lived under a shadow. However, from 2014 to 2025, terror attacks have largely ceased across the country—except in Jammu & Kashmir.” In Rajya Sabha, Union Minister JP Nadda says, "...A former defence minister had said, "India has a policy that the...

During the Rajya Sabha discussion on Operation Sindoor, Union Minister JP Nadda took aim at the Congress-led UPA government, accusing it of excessive appeasement in the face of terrorism. Referring to post-attack diplomacy, he said: "We need to understand the limits of their appeasement — that after the 2008 Jaipur bomb blasts by Indian Mujahideen, India and Pakistan agreed on specific confidence-building measures... Woh hume goliyon se bhunte rahe aur hum unko biryani khilane chale... They gave permission for a triple-entry permit to cross LoC." Nadda highlighted the disconnect between Pakistan’s hostile actions and India’s conciliatory gestures under the previous government....

Speaking in the Rajya Sabha during the Special Discussion on Operation Sindoor, Union Minister JP Nadda criticized the previous government’s handling of major terror incidents.

On the issue of China raised by the Opposition in Parliament, External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar remarked, “There are some self-proclaimed ‘China Gurus’—one of whom is seated in front of me (referring to Jairam Ramesh)—whose fondness for China once led him to coin the term ‘Chindia’ to describe India-China ties. "As for myself, I may lack such ‘expertise’ because I didn’t learn about China by attending the Olympics. Some gained their knowledge during those games—let’s not get into whom they met or what they signed during that time." "They even received private lessons at home from the Chinese Ambassador. These so-called...

EAM Dr. S. Jaishankar stated, “Our consistent response to anyone who reached out was that any request from Pakistan must come through the DGMO.

There was no connection to trade, and no phone calls took place between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump during that period.” EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, "The response we gave to anybody who spoke to us was that the Pakistani side has to make a request, and that request has to come through the DGMO...

During the Rajya Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor, External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar remarked on the exceptional nature of the Indus Water Treaty, stating, "The Indus Water Treaty in many ways is a very unique agreement. I cannot think of any agreement in the world where a country has allowed its major rivers to flow to the next country without having rights on that river. So it was an extraordinary agreement and, it's important when we have put it in abeyance, to recall the history of this event. Yesterday I heard people, some people are uncomfortable with history. They prefer...
