Opposition parties from the INDIA bloc had demanded a special session in the aftermath of these events, arguing that Parliament needed to deliberate on the national security situation. Among the topics likely to be raised are the Pahalgam attack, Operation Sindoor, US President Donald Trump's claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and civilian deaths from cross-border shelling. Impeachment motion expected during session An impeachment motion against former Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma is also expected to be moved during the session. The judge is facing serious allegations of corruption following the recovery of a substantial amount of cash from his official residence in Delhi. The motion, if introduced, would mark a rare parliamentary move to impeach a sitting or former member of the judiciary.
