Operation Sindoor debate: Opposition questions — ‘huge security lapse', ‘no proof terrorists came from Pakistan'
Parliament is gearing up for a fierce debate over Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack on Monday. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is expected to address the Lok Sabha around noon, while Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi is likely to lead the debate from the Opposition's side. Ahead of the Parliament session, Gaurav Gogoi said, "...the government will have to tell the truth, today." Reacting to Congress leader P Chidambaram's "no proof Pahalgam terrorists came from Pakistan" comment, Gogoi said, "He [Chidambaram] will be able to give more information on this." Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut also said, "Chidambaram sahib might be saying the right thing." He also said that Home Minister Amit Shah should have resigned over the Pahalgam terror attack incident. "The Pahalgam attack was a huge security lapse in Centre-governed J&K. The terrorists entered 400 km inside J&K. These terrorists have not been found yet. This is a lapse on the part of the Home Ministry. The Home Minister should have resigned," Sanjay Raut said. He also questioned the government over US President Donald Trump claims about the "US-brokered' ceasefire deal between India and Pakistan during May conflict. "I think the Prime Minister will not come as he will have to answer questions about President Trump," he said. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav said, "Firstly, one has to accept that there are two separate issues. Firstly, we congratulate the Armed Forces for their bravery and valour during Operation Sindoor. If they had got a chance, they might have even taken PoK." "Before the Pahalgam attack, there was another incident that the public has not yet been informed about. The question is - why are terrorist incidents happening again and again under the BJP government? Where did the Pahalgam terrorists go? The government should answer where these terrorists went," Yadav asked. A fiery debate on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor is expected to unfold in Parliament between top leaders from the ruling alliance and the opposition. Lok Sabha List of Business for Monday states, "Special Discussion on India's strong, successful and decisive 'Operation Sindoor' in response to terrorist attack in Pahalgam". Twenty-six civilians were killed in the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, after which India retaliated through precision strikes under Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

MV Act changes on the anvil to make guidelines mandatory for states
NEW DELHI: The Centre is working on a proposal to amend the Motor Vehicles (MV) Act to ensure that key guidelines issued by the Union Government become binding on states, government sources said. The move aims to address the current legal ambiguity arising from the concurrent nature of legislation on motor vehicles, where both the Centre and states have law-making powers. Officials say delays or inaction by some states on critical reforms create a legal vacuum, hampering the uniform implementation of road safety and transport policies. 'If states don't act on certain matters, important reforms are left out. The idea is to avoid a situation where nothing moves forward due to jurisdictional gaps,' a source said, adding that discussions are underway and the final proposal is likely to be taken up soon. The proposed changes would make select Central guidelines mandatory, particularly those related to road safety, vehicle regulation, and transport policy.
