In a significant political maneuver, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has distanced itself from a coalition of 16 opposition parties demanding a special session of Parliament. Despite this split,TMC MP Derek O’brien has announced that AAP will send a separate letter to the central government regarding the issue. This decision comes in the wake of a meeting held in the capital to discuss the recent Operation Sindoor, which has heightened concerns following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam.
The meeting saw participation from leaders of various parties, including Congress, TMC, RJD, and the Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction). The opposition has been vocal about their demand for a special session, notably to address the implications of the recent attack. TMC has proposed that this session be convened within the month, allowing multi-party delegations currently abroad to return and present a unified stance against terrorism in Parliament. as Derek O’Brien emphasized, this is a crucial moment for India to clarify its position on national security and counter-terrorism efforts.
