New Delhi [India], May 12 (ANI): Kerala Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Monday said that he is unable to understand why Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wants to have a special session of Parliament as when important bills are being debated in the House, he and his sister (Priyanka Gandhi) don't show up.
'I don't understand why Rahul Gandhi wants to have a special session of Parliament because he doesn't show up in regular sessions of Parliament. When important bills are being debated, he and his sister (Priyanka Gandhi) don't show up,' Chandrasekhar told ANI.
He further said that PM Modi and the Indian armed forces have made it clear that every incident of terrorism will be treated as an 'act of war.'
'What India has done to Pakistan in the last few days is absolutely unprecedented. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian armed forces have made it clear that every incident of terrorism will be treated as an act of war and an act of war will be given a very suitable deterrent response. What has happened in the last three days is unprecedented? The reach and depth with which the Indian armed forces have taken the battle forward is unprecedented and has never happened in the independent history of India,' he added.
Yesterday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi wrote letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to convene a special session of the Parliament.
Rahul Gandhi reiterated the 'unanimous request' of the Opposition to convene a special session of Parliament 'immediately.'
'It is crucial for the people and their representatives to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor and today's ceasefire, first announced by U.S. President Trump. This will also be an opportunity to demonstrate our collective resolve to meet the challenges ahead. I trust that you will consider this demand seriously and swiftly,' Rahul Gandhi said.
Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 to strike multiple terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir after a deadly attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam last month. (ANI)
