Our forces avenged Pahalgam attack in 22 minutes: Modi in Lok Sabha

Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Modi said: "Immediately following the Pahalgam attack, the Pakistani military anticipated that India would retaliate significantly. They even issued threats to use nuclear weapons."

He said: "In just 22 minutes, our forces avenged the attack of April 22nd with clear objectives in mind. "

Launching a scathing attack on the Congress, Modi said: "We got support from countries across the world, but it is unfortunate that the valour of the heroes of my country did not get the support of the Congress."

Modi said Operation Sindoor has demonstrated that those responsible for orchestrating terrorist attacks in India will face severe consequences.

Rahul Gandhi dares Modi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi challenged Indian PM Narendra Modi to call Donald Trump a 'liar', refuting his claims that he mediated to end the conflict between India and Pakistan in May.

Addressing the Lok Sabha, Gandhi was quoted as saying by the media: "Donald Trump said 29 times that he stopped the war. If this is not true, then the PM should deny and say Trump you are liar."

Speaking on the Pahalgam attack that shocked the nation on April 22, one of the deadliest terror attacks recorded in Jammu and Kashmir in recent times, Gandhi said: "Attack in Pahalgam: a brutal, heartless attack, clearly organized and orchestrated by the Pakistani state."

"Merciless killings of young and old people in cold blood. We have together condemned Pakistan," he said.

Apart from Rahul Gandhi, senior Congress MP and his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a scathing attack on the Centre while launching a debate on the Operation Sindoor in the Parliament.
