Op Sindoor debate: Has government answered the unanswered questions?

In this episode of News Today, the big focus is on Operation Sindoor that took place in Lok Sabha on Monday. External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar clarified there were no calls between the Prime Minister and President Trump from April 22 to June 17, denying any trade linkage in conversations with the United States.

While in a blistering attack on the Centre, the Congress said Home Minister Amit Shah must take responsibility for the lapses that led to the Pahalgam attack and asked the government to clarify how many Indian jets were downed during Operation Sindoor. So, has the government answered the unanswered questions? Watch as experts share their views on the show.
