Congress MP raises doubts over Op Mahadev, asks if terrorists killed were ‘real' Pahalgam attackers
The Rajya Sabha MP was speaking on the issue of deploying Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel inside the parliament, including on marshalling duties, which the Congress party has objected to. 'They can't catch the actual aatankwadi (terrorists). They don't know how to do it. It took them so long to catch them. We don't even know if they are the real ones, but they will come to parliament and target the women. Great. This is their level and limit,' Chowdhury told mediapersons outside parliament Tuesday. New Delhi: A week after Home Minister Amit Shah said the three terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam attack had been killed in an encounter, Congress Rajya Sabha MP Renuka Chowdhury raised doubts whether those eliminated in Operation Mahadev were the 'real' perpetrators of the 22 April massacre. 'They can use power on us, police on us, and marshal power on us and think that we will be scared,' Chowdhury said. Giving details around the process of identification of the terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam attack, the Union home minister told parliament 29 July that a joint team comprising troops from the Indian Army, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police killed three terrorists belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba on the upper reaches of Srinagar. He identified the trio as Suleiman, a 'grade A category' commander of the LeT, Afghan and Jibran, also grade A category terrorists. He asserted that Indian agencies had ample proof and evidence that they were the perpetrators of the Pahalgam attack. He had said that ballistic reports of the two AK-47s and one M-4 rifle by the Chandigarh Forensic Laboratory matched with cartridges recovered from the scene of crime in Pahalgam, confirming the use of the very rifles behind the ghastly attack. Operation Mahadev was a joint operation by the Army, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police launched in Kashmir's Dachigam on 28 July. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav had questioned the timing of the operation, pointing out its coincidence with the Parliament session. Congress leader Chowdhury takes the debate a step further by casting doubt on the identity of the terrorists and the authenticity of the encounter. Speaking after Shah's detailed speech in the lower house on 29 July, Yadav pointed out the encounter killing of the terrorists happened 28 July, when the parliament was set to discuss the Pahalgam attack and subsequent Operation Sindoor launched by the armed forces. 'We are all happy … terrorists killed, and we support it. But who is reaping the political gain after all? They are asking why I am not thanking them for Operation Mahadev? When it came to giving support, all the political parties of the country were with you…why did the encounter happen only yesterday?' Yadav said in the Lok Sabha during the debate on Operation Sindoor. (Edited by Ajeet Tiwari) Also Read: Hindus can never be terrorists, says Amit Shah during Op Sindoor debate in Rajya Sabha

Parliament extends President's Rule in Manipur by six months
Parliament on Tuesday approved a statutory resolution to extend President's Rule in Manipur for another six months beyond August 13. The resolution, which was passed by the Lok Sabha last week, was approved by the Rajya Sabha, amid uproar by Opposition members over the issue of electoral rolls revision in Bihar. As Opposition MPs continued their protests on SIR, Deputy Chairman Harivansh said it was a 'constitutional obligation' to pass the resolution. 'It's a statutory resolution. All of us, as MPs, have to follow constitutional provisions. These have a time limit within which it has to be disposed of…' Harivansh said. He then asked YSRCP member Subhash Chandra Bose Pilli to speak on the resolution. Opposition MPs however started raising slogans against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls exercise with TMP MPs raising slogans while standing next to the YSRCP member. BJD MP Muzibulla Khan said, 'When Manipur law and order situation was bad, Article 356 was imposed. Today, the situation of law and order in Odisha is bad…' 'Double engine government in Manipur failed…. Has the situation improved after so many months of President's Rule or not? Minister should inform us… The Centre should take responsibility, removing an elected government and imposing President's Rule repeatedly is also not good,' he said. Moving the resolution for passage in the House, Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai said a rift was formed between two communities in Manipur due to a court order. 'A rift was created between two communities in Manipur due to an order of the High Court related to a dispute on reservations. Those who say it is religious violence are wrong…' Rai said amid continued uproar by Opposition MPs. Rai also said Home Minister Amit Shah had undertaken a tour of violence- affected areas in Manipur. 'He (Shah) met high level officials, security forces, civil society members…' Rai said, claiming that the northeast has witnessed widespread development under the Narendra Modi-led government. He also said since the President's Rule was imposed in Manipur, only one incident of violence has been reported. The Rajya Sabha later approved the resolution with a voice vote. The House also passed another resolution by voice vote that sought to amend the Second Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975. The resolution was moved by Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary. Manipur was put under President's Rule in February this year after Chief Minister N Biren Singh stepped down, nearly two years after the ethnic conflict began in the state between the valley-based Meitei community and the hills-based Scheduled Tribe Kuki-Zo group of communities.
