INDIA bloc writes to PM demanding special session of Parliament
New Delhi, June 3 (UNI) Leaders of the INDI Alliance met here on Tuesday to press for a special session of Parliament to discuss a 'sequence of events' — from the 'Pahalgam incident to Operation Sindoor and the ceasefire'. Leaders from 16 Opposition parties attended the meeting, including senior Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh, Deepender Singh Hooda, Trinamool Congress leader Derek O Brien, Ramgopal Yadav of the Samajwadi Party and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut. Later briefing the media, DereK O Brien said the 16 parties have written a letter to the Prime Minister seeking a special session of Parliament. 'The letter basically talks about Poonch, Uri, Rajouri and having a free discussion in the Parliament,' the TMC leader said. He further added, 'The government is responsible to Parliament, Parliament is responsible to the people so it natural for all these parties, since the government is answerable to Parliament, that is why the session to the Parliament is responsible to the people'. On Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) not being a party of the meeting, the TMC leader said, 'Our understanding is that the AAP is writing directly to the PM tomorrow'. Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav said that there are several issues which are "worrisome". Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav said, "On the diplomatic front, the Prime Minister has been visiting numerous countries and meeting many leaders over the past several years. However, his so-called friend, Mr Trump, announced the ceasefire, which is a matter of concern." He further added, "India, being the world's largest democracy, must not appear to be forced into taking such actions. This warrants a discussion in Parliament, and we are demanding a special session to address it." Deepender Singh Hooda said that a special session of Parliament must be called so that from Pahalgam to Operation Sindoor to America's announcement of the ceasefire could be discussed. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut stated, "The letter sent to the Prime Minister is not an ordinary one. We represent the main Opposition and are the voice of the people. Considering the recent development, a special session of Parliament should be convened. It will uphold the country's dignity and ensure transparency for the public." Raut further questioned, "If a ceasefire can be declared at the behest of President Trump, then why can't a special session of Parliament be called at the request of the Opposition? Do we need to approach President Trump for that as well?" UNI RBE GNK

'Asim Munir spewed venom against Hindus weeks before Pahalgam attack': CDS Gen Chauhan exposes Pakistani army chief
NEW DELHI: Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Tuesday exposed Pakistani army chief General Asim Munir's communally charged statements against India and Hindus in weeks leading up to the Pahalgam terror attack . "Pakistani army chief Gen Asim Munir spewed venom against India and Hindus just weeks before what happened in Pahalgam," he said. Talking about Pakistan's policy of supporting terrorism, he said, "Our adversary's approach is to bleed India by a thousand cuts". Munir had stirred controversy by invoking the two-nation theory—the ideological basis of Pakistan's formation—urging citizens to instill in their children a sense of distinction from Hindus. He further intensified rhetoric by describing Kashmir as Pakistan's "jugular vein." Days after Pahalgam terror attack, a similar statement was made by Munir when he said, "The two-nation theory was based on the fundamental belief that Muslims and Hindus are two separate nations, not one. Muslims are distinct from Hindus in all aspects of life – religion, customs, traditions, thinking and aspirations." Pahalgam terror attack took place on April 22 in which 26 people were killed. The incident led to the launch of Operation Sindoor, in which, the armed forces targeted nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
