Sarangi, BJP MP from Bhubaneswar, also confirmed that the ceasefire resulted from 'mutual discussion and mutual deliberation' between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of Pakistan and India, thereby repudiating repeated claims of the US to have brokered the ceasefire.
The conference titled 'Decoding Operation Sindoor: New Normal, New Doctrine,' marking three months since the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, was organised by Centre for Global India Insights (CGII), a think tank focused on global affairs.

More than a month after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Sarangi travelled to Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore as part of a multi-party delegation of MPs to project India's viewpoint in the aftermath of 'Operation Sindoor. She underlined that the overarching thrust of multi-party delegations was to set the narrative straight.
In a similar vein, Priyanka Chaturvedi, MP and national spokesperson of Shiv Sena (UBT), emphasized that the purpose of the all-party delegations was to strengthen India's fight against terrorism, which remains incomplete if the international community continues to provide aid through funding mechanisms that ultimately support terrorism funded by taxpayers' money.
'This calibrated paradigm-shifting retaliation against the butchers of Pahalgam, which took barely 22 minutes, ended decades of strategic patience, ushering in a new era of offensive defence. The military strikes by India vividly sent the signal that that from now onwards, it will be blood for blood,' said Manish Chand, CEO, Centre for Global India Insights. 'Operation Sindoor is still on; India cannot afford to let its guards down. Eternal vigilance is the only way to go,' he said.
Brij Lal, a former IPS officer-turned politician, lauded bold action taken by the government in the form of Operation Sindoor and criticised previous governments who would simply 'condemn' acts of terror in the past. He emphasized that India will respond decisively to every attack on its forces and citizens. Lal, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), proposed the construction of a Sindoor memorial at Baisaran Valley as a symbol of the historic operation, which the Prime Minister agreed to under his own signature.
Former Member of Parliament. Amar Patnaik urged the audience not to view Operation Sindoor merely as a military response to an act of terror, noting that there are various ways to respond, with military action being the last resort.
Sujan Chinoy, Director General, Manohar Parrikar Institute of Defence Studies and Analyses who also travalled to different countries, as part of multi-party delegations, emphasized the importance of traditional intelligence gathering, building secure communication, and relying on domestic real-time location updates. He called for the development of domestic standards and certification of defense equipment to truly make India 'Atmanirbhar' in the defence sector.
Calling for enhanced readiness to prepare for the spectrum of conflict, not only conventional but also cyber, grey-zone, Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Syed Ata Hasnain underlined that Operation Sindoor was not a reactive action, but part of a well-thought-out effort to shape the battle space. This is deterrence by punishment, yes, but also by denial, deception, and disruption.'
Air Vice Marshal (Retd.) Anil Golani, Director General, Centre for Air Power Studies (CAPS) pointed out that India achieved not only tactical success but also psychological ascendancy from Operation Sindoor. 'Our adversaries, and even our allies, now recalibrate their perception of India's threshold,' he said. He called for strengthening jointness among the tri-services, stating that the future demands integration not only of command structures but also of narratives, data, and objectives.

Shashi Tharoor Not On Op Sindoor Debate List, Congress Sources Say He Declined
New Delhi: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor evaded a question on whether he would speak during the special discussion in the Parliament on Operation Sindoor today, amid reports that he is not among the speakers chosen by his Congress party. Mr Tharoor was in the Parliament complex ahead of the resumption of the Monsoon session when an NDTV journalist asked him if he was among the speakers who would lead the charge against the government over the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. The MP from Thiruvananthapuram walked away without answering, only to turn back when a colleague, Renuka Chowdhury, called him. The reporters present there then turned to Ms Chowdhury and asked her if she would like Mr Tharoor to speak in the Parliament today. "He is constitutionally empowered to speak anywhere. Who am I to give permission?" she replied. Mr Tharoor had led arguably the most important delegation to the US during the outreach initiative following Op Sindoor - a move that is believed to have intensified an apparent rift between the senior leader and the Congress leadership.

‘Linguistic terror': Mamata Banerjee alleges Bengali migrant's family beaten up by Delhi Police
Reiterating her accusation that the Bharatiya Janata Party has unleashed ' linguistic terrorism ' against Bengali speakers, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday alleged that a Bengali migrant worker's family was harassed and tortured by the police in Delhi. The chief minister shared a video on social media in which a man can be heard accusing the Delhi Police of beating his wife and infant son. 'Atrocious!! Terrible!! See how Delhi Police brutally beat up a kid and his mother, members of a migrant family from Malda's Chanchal,' Banerjee wrote. 'Even a child is not spared from the cruelty of violence in the regime of linguistic terror unleashed by the BJP in the country against the Bengalis!' It is unclear when the purported video was recorded. Banerjee's statement came on the day that the Trinamool Congress launched the 'Bhasha Andolan', a campaign against the alleged harassment of Bengali-speaking persons in BJP-ruled states. The Trinamool Congress chief had announced the protest on July 21 at the party's annual Martyrs' Day rally in Kolkata, saying that the fight to protect the Bengali language and identity would continue until the BJP was voted out. Assembly elections in West Bengal are expected to take place in March or April 2026. Her remarks also come amid Indian authorities pursuing a policy over the past month to 'push' individuals claimed to be undocumented migrants into Bangladesh. Many of those forced out of the country claim that they are Indian citizens. Reports of migrant workers from West Bengal living in BJP-ruled states, including Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Delhi, being detained and deported under allegations that they were Bangladeshi citizens have also emerged. India has forced more than 2,000 persons, alleged to be undocumented migrants, into Bangladesh since the country launched ' Operation Sindoor ', a military operation against terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The legality of the 'push back' policy has been debated in India and internationally. Experts have told Scroll that the policy violated India's obligations under international law and customary international law. In June, four men from West Bengal, who had been picked up by the Maharashtra Police and forced into Bangladesh, were brought back on June 15. The Murshidabad Police in West Bengal had presented proof of them being Indian citizens. On July 16, the Calcutta High Court asked the Union government if there was truth to the claims that Bengali-speaking persons were being deported to Bangladesh.
