Op Sindoor got support of many nations but not Congress: PM Modi lampoons opposition
Brushing aside Congress's claims of India's foreign policy failure, in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, PM Modi said that none of the countries voiced any opposition to India's military strikes against Pakistan.
'Out of 193 countries, only three countries supported Pakistan either through dialogue or by other means. All nations and organisations, including BRICS and others, supported India's military strikes and war on terror,' PM Modi told the house.
Further mocking the grand old party, PM Modi said, 'We got the support of countrymen, support of countries, but it is unfortunate the armed forces didn't get the support of the Congress party.'
PM Modi claimed that the grand old party gloated over the Pahalgam terror attack, hoping that it would allow them to target him and corner the government.
'They were trying to score political points at the cost of loss of innocent lives. They lowered the morale of the armed forces and undermined their valour,' PM Modi said.
He further said that information and narratives play a key role in today's warfare strategy and cautioned against using technology to undermine the armed forces and misguide the public on issues of national importance.
Doubling down his attack, PM Modi accused the grand old party of being hand in glove with Pakistan and said, 'Today, Congress is bereft of issues and is forced to draw agenda from outside.'
He said that Congress leaders have repeatedly demanded proof and evidence of India's surgical strikes, but sensing public backlash, it changed tack and went to claim that such strikes happened in the Congress regime too.
'It's good that they didn't seek similar credit like Operation Sindoor because such air strikes never happened before,' he said, taunting the Opposition.
He said that Congress wants a reason to oppose the government's decisions even at the cost of national security and also highlighted its 'disdain' for the armed forces.
'There is a negativity towards armed forces; it's an old Congress habit of finding faults in their action,' he said.

Slum demolitions in Delhi: Cong. MP raises issue in Lok Sabha
Congress MP Manickam Tagore on Wednesday criticised the Delhi government, raising concern over the slum demolitions in the Capital during the Zero Hour of the Lok Sabha. This comes days after the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, visited areas where demolitions had taken place. Alleging that thousands of families were rendered homeless by the demolition of slums, he said it was being done in violation of existing policies of rehabilitation. 'Before elections, the ruling party [BJP] spent nights in the same slums, and they made assurances 'jahan jhuggi, wahan makaan (A home where the slum stands), but now after the elections, it has become 'jahan jhuggi, wahan bulldozer (A bulldozer where the slum stands)'. This is not governance, it is abandonment. It is time for this House to take notice, because how we treat the poorest amongst us is not a side issue, but it is the very soul of our Constitution,' Mr. Tagore said. Meanwhile, Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav on Wednesday said that after Mr. Gandhi visited the demolished slum areas of the Capital, the Congress moved two adjournment motions in Parliament. 'Although BJP allowed the adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha today, nobody from the government gave a reply on the JJ Cluster demolition issue raised by LoP Rahul Gandhi, which raises the question of why BJP allowed the said adjournment motion when it did not want to answer the issues raised by Mr. Gandhi,' he said. Mr. Yadav said that all seven BJP Lok Sabha MPs from the Capital seemed to be unconcerned about the plight of the slum dwellers, or else, they would have spoken in favour of the slum dwellers in the House. 'The BJP government has destroyed more than 3000 slum clusters in its five months in power by breaking the promise of providing 3.5 lakh in-situ flats with all the basic civic services and ownership rights to the poor,' Mr. Yadav said. He added that the Delhi Congress will launch a campaign to get justice for the slum dwellers in every respect, including alternate accommodation for the displaced, who have played a major role in the development of Delhi. On Sunday, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta assured that her government will ensure proper rehabilitation of 'eligible' slum dwellers displaced due to development projects.

Five rounds of India-US trade talks held so far: Centre
New Delhi: India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) negotiations were launched in March 2025, with five rounds held so far -the most recent from July 14-18 in Washington, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jitin Prasada told the Lok Sabha in a written reply on Tuesday. The two countries aim to negotiate the first tranche of a mutually beneficial, multi-sector BTA by fall 2025. The US has imposed a 25% tariff on automobile imports and certain auto parts from all countries, including India. These tariffs took effect on April 3, 2025, for automobiles, and on May 3, 2025, for auto parts. "India has taken requisite steps to reserve all its rights consistent with the provisions of WTO Agreements," Prasada added. In a separate reply, the Lok Sabha was informed that the US has not yet imposed any additional tariffs specifically on BRICS countries. "While the US had announced a reciprocal tariff of 26% on certain Indian exports, including seafood, this has not been implemented. Currently, the US has imposed an additional 10% duty on seafood imports, regardless of country of origin - including those from India and Ecuador," Prasada said. He added that the government remains committed to supporting India's seafood sector through sustained diplomatic engagement and policy support.
