Parliament Monsoon Session Erupts: Modi’s “Vijay Utsav” Call Meets Opposition Fury Over Operation Sindoor

New Delhi – The first Monsoon Session of Parliament after the much-talked-about Operation Sindoor has begun, and if you thought the real storms were outside, think again. The political thunder and lightning inside Parliament this week may just outdo the monsoon itself.

Modi’s Message: “Let’s Unite for the Nation!”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the session with a clear, passionate message: Parliament should be a “Vijay Utsav”—a festival of victory—celebrating India’s military achievements and the spirit of unity. He called on all parties to set aside their differences, at least when it comes to national interest, and to collectively applaud the strength of India’s armed forces and the success of indigenous defence manufacturing.

“Political parties may have different agendas, but when it comes to the nation, our hearts must unite. Let’s strengthen India’s progress and honour our soldiers’ sacrifices,” Modi urged outside Parliament.

The PM’s words were a direct nod to the recent success of Operation Sindoor, which has been hailed as a turning point for India’s military prowess and “Make in India” defence technology.

Opposition Uproar: “Operation Sindoor Was a Failure!”

But even before the echoes of Modi’s speech faded, chaos erupted inside the House. The opposition, led by Congress, was ready to challenge the government at every turn. Their goal: to question the success of Operation Sindoor and push the “Narendra Surrender” narrative.

From the very start, opposition MPs stormed the well, shouting slogans and demanding a dedicated debate on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam attack. They insisted that the Prime Minister himself be present for the discussion, refusing to settle for anything less.

“You Never Let Us Speak!” — Rahul Gandhi’s Charge

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused the government of silencing the opposition. “Whenever we try to speak, our mics are switched off. The Defence Minister can speak, the government can speak, but the Leader of the Opposition is not allowed,” he claimed.

However, the Speaker and the government repeatedly countered that the opposition would be given a chance to speak—if only they would return to their seats and allow the House to function. The government maintained: “We are ready for any discussion, for as many hours as you want, but it must happen according to the rules.”

The Blame Game: Who’s Stopping Whom?

This blame game is nothing new. Government ministers, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and BJP chief JP Nadda, stood up to say: “We are ready for a full discussion on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam attack. Let’s put all the facts before the nation and the world.”

Yet, the opposition continued its protests, setting conditions for the debate and accusing the government of avoiding tough questions. Every time the government agreed to a debate, the opposition moved the goalposts—now demanding the Prime Minister’s personal response.

Modi’s Big Bet — And the Opposition’s Strategy

Insiders suggest the Modi government is planning something big during this session—though details remain under wraps. Meanwhile, the opposition seems determined to keep the “Narendra Surrender” label alive, regardless of the government’s readiness for discussion.

Political commentator Sushant Sinha summed up the mood: “Every session, it’s the same story—opposition claims they’re not allowed to speak, but when given a chance, they disrupt the House. When the PM speaks, they create chaos. The public is watching, and this drama is wearing thin.”

The Real Question: Will Parliament Work?

As the drama continues, one question remains: Will this session see real debate, or will it be sacrificed on the altar of political theatrics? Will the opposition allow the government to present its case on Operation Sindoor, or will the shouting matches drown out any meaningful discussion?

The nation is watching. Will Parliament rise to the occasion, or will it be yet another session lost to noise and protest?
