Govt, opposition clash over Op Sindoor, Pahalgam attack mastermind, 2 others killed

A political debate in Parliament intensified over the government's handling of Operation Sindoor, with opposition leader Gaurav Gogoi demanding transparency on the number of fighter jets lost and casualties sustained. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh addressed these concerns amidst calls for accountability to the public and the armed forces. Parallelly, security forces achieved a counter-terrorism milestone by neutralising three terrorists in 'Operation Mahadev,' including the mastermind behind the Pahalgam terror strike. Discussions also delve into India's defence budget, indigenous manufacturing under 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat,' and foreign policy dynamics involving China and the US. The Prime Minister's absence from the debate raises questions, as does the lack of recognition for fallen soldiers.
