Taking a swipe at the
Congress
, the Minister said, "Even if after the Prime Minister's speech, they have any questions, I cannot say anything. I can only pity them... The narrative set by Congress, and what is going on in
Pakistan
, is very similar..."
Meanwhile, several
BJP
MPs, including Mayank Nayak, Maya Naroliya and Mahima Kumari Mewar, lauded the Prime Minister's address, asserting that it had effectively countered all allegations raised by the Opposition regarding Operation Sindoor.
BJP MP Mayank Nayak said, "All baseless allegations levelled by the Opposition regarding Operation Sindoor were given a categorical reply by the PM today. The world style of previous Govts and PM Modi's 'goli ke saamne gola' style - speaking the language which the enemy nation understands, they have given a reply. Operation Sindoor has been fought unitedly by the citizens and jawans of the country."

He added, "PM has explained everything in the Lok Sabha today. He also said that there was no pressure on him to stop the war, that he did not get any phone call...People saw through the disinformation being spread by the Opposition. PM clarified everything in Lok Sabha..."
BJP MP Maya Naroliya said the farsightedness of PM Modi and the response given to Pakistan is now known to the entire country.
"The entire country is standing with the
Indian armed forces
. PM Modi told the story of Operation Sindoor to the House, the Opposition and even the entire country. Operation Sindoor avenged the killing of people in Pahalgam. The credit for the success of Operation Sindoor goes to our Armed Forces and brave jawans. The farsightedness of PM Modi and the befitting reply to Pakistan - the entire nation knows about it... I urge the Opposition MPs to stand united with the country..." she said.
She further added, "Congress has no solid issues...They have just one issue, scream and try to prove your words true..."
BJP MP Mahima Kumari Mewar also praised the Prime Minister's speech, stating, "...PM Modi, EAM, Home Minister and Defence Minister replied to all the questions very well and explained everything in detail...I think the whole of India, be it the ruling side or the Opposition, should stand together and think about the security of the people of India. I think our armed forces acted strongly and gave a befitting reply. All the questions that were answered were replied to..."
Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, said that the Indian Armed Forces avenged the April 22
Pahalgam terror attack
in 22 minutes through Operation Sindoor by destroying terror launch pads in "different corners of Pakistan."
Speaking in the Lok Sabha during a discussion on Operation Sindoor, the Prime Minister described the ongoing Parliament session as a "
Vijay Utsav
" (victory celebration) celebrating India's military strength and national unity after the success of the armed forces.
He further said that the Indian Armed Forces were given a free hand to take their own decisions when the conflict with Pakistan escalated in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor on May 7.

Owaisi says fresh US tariffs on India will hurt Indian exporters, deter FDI, hit jobs hard
Hyderabad: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday said US President Donald Trump's decision to impose 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods will hurt Indian exporters, MSMEs, manufacturers and will disrupt supply chains, deter FDI, and hit jobs hard. A day after Trump imposed a penalty of another 25 per cent on India for buying Russian oil, Owaisi said Trump just slapped another 25 per cent tariff on India, taking it to 50 per cent, because 'we bought oil from Russia'. In a post on X, the Hyderabad MP said 'This isn't diplomacy, it's bullying by the buffoon-in-chief who clearly doesn't understand how global trade works". These tariffs will hurt Indian exporters, MSMEs, and manufacturers. It'll disrupt supply chains, deter FDI, and hit jobs hard. But why will Narendra Modi care? Where are those BJP muscle-flexers now?" the AIMIM chief asked. "Last time I'd asked if Modi ji would show his 56-inch chest when Trump imposed 56% tariffs. Trump stopped at 50%. Maybe he's scared of our non-biological PM? Was selling out our strategic autonomy worth filling your friends' billionaire coffers?" he further said. Trump on Wednesday slapped an additional 25 per cent tariff on goods coming from India as penalty for New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil, a move that is likely to hit sectors such as textiles, marine and leather exports hard. Trump signed an executive order - Addressing Threats to the US by the Government of the Russian Federation - imposing the additional tariff over and above the 25 per cent levy, which comes into effect from August 7. After this order, the total tariff on Indian goods, barring a small exemption list, will be 50 per cent.

BJP slams Congress over poll rigging allegations, Tipu-KRS claims in Karnataka
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) flayed the Congress for its allegations of 'vote theft' and claims that the foundation stone for the Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) in Karnataka was laid by Tipu Sultan. Addressing media persons in Mysuru on August 7, BJP Mysuru district president and former MLA L. Nagendra and senior party functionary M.A. Mohan accused Congress of spreading misinformation, distorting history, and attempting to divert public attention from its failures in governance. Responding to the claims by Congress spokesperson M. Lakshman that about 1.45 lakh votes that ideally should have gone to the Congress, was 'diverted' to the BJP, Mr. Nagendra said such statements are without basis, and are misleading. 'Mr. Lakshman should realise that he got far more votes in this parliamentary election than in any previous contest where he was repeatedly defeated. If votes were truly stolen, how did he manage to lead in the N.R. Assembly constituency? Why no complaints there?'' The BJP accused the Congress of playing a fraud on voters by trying to bribe them, and yet was defeated. Mr. Nagendra said the Lok Sabha elections were free and fair, and people voted for BJP candidate Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar given his calibre and the contribution of the Wadiyars of Mysuru to Karnataka. 'People have made their choice. Creating confusion now is irresponsible,' he added. On Mr. Lakshman's allegation of 'missing votes', Mr. Mohan said, 'Even Congress workers don't see him as a deserving candidate. Let him introspect instead of blaming EVMs or the BJP, and also answer how the Congress won 136 seats in the 2023 Assembly elections,' said Mr. Mohan. The BJP described the allegations as a diversionary tactic adopted by the Congress to mislead people and draw their attention away from administrative collapse in Karnataka. The Congress has raised the prices of essential commodities while local body elections have not been conducted, as the ruling party is 'reluctant' to face voters, said Mr. Nagendra and Mr. Mohan. What about contribution of Chalukyas, Hoysalas, Vijayanagara kings? Ridiculing the Congress narrative that Tipu Sultan laid the foundation for the KRS dam, Mr. Mohan said the Srirangapatna fort existed before Tipu and Hyder Ali. 'If left unchallenged, the Congress will credit construction of Vani Vilas Sagar dam in Chitradurga — which was built by the Wadiyars — to Tipu Sultan,' he added. Mr. Mohan questioned the 'selective glorification' of Tipu Sultan by Congress. 'Other dynasties too have made tremendous contribution to Karnataka culture, including the Chalukyas, Hoysalas, and Vijayanagara kings. But the Congress only talks of Tipu Sultan,' he said while accusing the ruling party of distorting history for vote bank politics.
