West Bengal Assembly Set for Turbulent Session Over Pahalgam Incident
The West Bengal Assembly is bracing for a heated session on Monday, sparked by the tragic loss of 22 Indian tourists in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam.In response, the Indian Army has launched retaliatory operations, leading to a proposed resolution that will be presented in the assembly on Tuesday. This situation has ignited a political firestorm, particularly around the omission of the operation’s name, “Operation Sindoor,” from the proposal, which has drawn sharp criticism from the BJP.
Speaker Biman Banerjee is spearheading the introduction of this resolution, but the absence of any mention of Operation sindoor has raised eyebrows. The BJP argues that the Indian Army represents the nation’s pride, and failing to acknowledge their operation diminishes their valor. As the proposal reaches the BJP’s parliamentary party, tensions are running high, with party members expressing their outrage. The assembly is expected to witness intense debates on Monday, as the BJP pushes for the inclusion of Operation Sindoor in the resolution, underscoring the emotional weight of national pride and military honour in the face of tragedy.
