Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge also wrote to the Prime Minister. "You may kindly recall myself as Leader of Opposition Rajya Sabha and Leader of Opposition, Lok Sabha requested your good self vide our letters dated 28 April 2025 to convene a special session of both Houses of Parliament in wake of inhuman terror attack in Pahalgam," he said.
India and Pakistan reached an understanding to stop firing after days of intense cross-border hostilities triggered by India’s Operation Sindoor. It was a series of military strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 civilians dead.
Earlier, the Centre called an all-party meeting after the Pahalgam terror attack and one also following airstrikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir under Operation Sindoor.
The Prime Minister had not attended either meeting. In both these meetings, the Opposition assured complete support to the government in any action it takes to avenge the terror attack that left 26 innocents dead.
