‘Insightful, Outstanding': PM Modi Praises Rajnath Singh, Jaishankar's Op Sindoor Parliament Speeches
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday praised the speech delivered by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in the parliament on Operation Sindoor, a military operation launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians.
The Prime Minister Modi praised Singh's insightful perspective on India's security apparatus and the bravery of the armed forces, while also commending Jaishankar's outstanding speech highlighting India's stance on fighting terrorism.
'An excellent speech by Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh Ji, giving an insightful perspective on the success of India's security apparatus and the courage of our armed forces in Operation Sindoor," PM Modi wrote on X. He also shared a video of the Defence Minister's speech in the parliament.
In a separate post, with the video attached, the Prime Minister wrote, 'The speech by EAM Dr. Jaishankar Ji was outstanding. He highlighted how the world has clearly heard India's perspective on fighting the menace of terrorism through Operation Sindoor."
'Thank you, PM @narendramodi
Jaishankar on Monday informed that no telephonic conversation was held between PM Modi and US President Donald Trump from April 22 to June 17. His remarks came as the opposition alleged that India ended the military conflict with Pakistan under Trump's pressure.
'There was no call between PM Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump from April 22, when Trump called up to convey sympathy and to June 17, when he called up PM in Canada to explain why he couldn't meet him," Jaishankar said in Lok Sabha. The EAM further went on to explain the events that led to the cessation of the conflict.
This comes after Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi, who opened the debate for the opposition, targeted the government over US President Donald Trump's repeated claims that he brokered the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor. He asked if Islamabad was ready to kneel down, 'Why did you stop, and to whom did you surrender?"

Malegaon case acquittals have ‘exposed' Congress' conspiracies: Adityanath
'The truth behind the Malegaon case has exposed the Congress' conspiracies,' the chief minister was quoted as saying in an official statement. Adityanath was speaking at the BJP's organisational meeting at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan here, where he, along with senior leaders, rallied the party cadre for the upcoming 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign in the state. Lucknow, Aug 3 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said the acquittal of all seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case has 'exposed' the Congress' conspiracies. He also lashed out at the opposition parties for 'acting as a shield for anti-national forces by spreading misinformation about Operation Sindoor', according to the statement. A special court in Mumbai on July 31 acquitted the seven accused, including former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur, in the terror case for want of reliable evidence. The BJP has alleged that Thakur, a Hindutva activist, and Hindu groups were blamed for the incident as the then-ruling Congress wanted to substantiate its theory of 'saffron terror'. The Lucknow meeting was also attended by Uttar Pradesh BJP president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, and State General Secretary (Organisation) Dharmpal Singh, among others. Addressing the gathering, Adityanath said the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign is a 'mass movement' to awaken national consciousness and not merely an act of hoisting flags. He urged the party workers to connect the campaign with the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' initiative by encouraging the use of products made in India. Adityanath highlighted that the BJP's voter revision campaign in the state ahead of the 2027 assembly polls was another key priority, describing it as a 'cornerstone of democracy'. He asserted that it was the 'political responsibility' of every BJP worker to ensure that no eligible voter, especially those turning 18, is left out of the electoral rolls. State BJP chief Chaudhary echoed similar sentiments, stating that the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign is a powerful expression of patriotism inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He criticised the opposition for engaging in 'lies and negativity' and asserted that the BJP focuses on development and good governance. The meeting also saw detailed instructions being issued for the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign. These included organising 'Tiranga Yatras' from August 10 to 12, holding cleanliness drives and paying floral tributes at memorials related to the freedom struggle from August 12 to 14, and ensuring flags are hoisted on all homes and establishments from August 13 to 15, and commemorating August 14 as 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day' with silent processions and exhibitions. The two deputy chief ministers emphasised the campaign as a 'people's revolution' and a 'national festival' to celebrate India's unity and pride. They also reinforced the party's core slogan, 'Mera Booth, Sabse Mazboot' (my booth is strongest), stating that a strong booth-level organisation is the key to winning next year's assembly polls.

Opposition to step up protest; BJP says SIR debate off-limits
The Opposition is gearing up to escalate its protest over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, following the release of the draft roll by the Election Commission. It is also planning to press for a discussion on the issue in both Houses of Parliament, which have remained stalled for the past two weeks, barring a 16-hour debate on Operation Sindoor. To coordinate their next moves, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi have invited leaders of the INDIA bloc for a dinner meeting on August 7 at Gandhi's official residence in New Delhi. Uddhav Thackeray, Sharad Pawar, Abhishek Banerjee and Tejashwi Yadav are among those who have confirmed participation.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju reiterated that a discussion on SIR cannot be allowed under parliamentary rules. "The government is ready to discuss any issue as per rules. But this is a process undertaken by a constitutional authority and it's not the first time it's being done," he said. Citing former Lok Sabha Speaker Balram Jakhar, he added, "What is not favoured by rules and convention cannot be discussed." He also asked who in the House would answer on behalf of the EC. Opposition leaders, however, remain firm. Rahul Gandhi, after a meeting with Speaker Om Birla, accused the EC of acting on behalf of the BJP. "Whoever in the Election Commission is involved in this exercise-from top to bottom-we will not spare you. You are working against India. This is no less than treason," he said. Live Events In Rajya Sabha, several opposition MPs have submitted notices under Rule 267 seeking to suspend regular business and hold a discussion on the SIR, as well as issues such as alleged atrocities against Bengali-speaking people in some states. Government sources told ET that Rule 267 notices are rarely accepted and are meant for extraordinary situations. "Currently, members are submitting notices on a range of issues, but there is no consensus among them," a source said. Deputy Chairman Harivansh, addressing members in the Upper House on Thursday, urged them to use Question Hour and Zero Hour more productively. "This session provided opportunities for 120 questions, 120 Zero Hour submissions and 120 Special Mentions. But only 11 questions, three submissions and 17 mentions could be taken up. The House has lost 30 hours and six minutes of members' time-not government business time," he said.
