Parliament monsoon session LIVE UPDATES: ‘Bas Karo, Bahut Maara Hai’: PM says Pakistan pleaded for ceasefire after Operation Sindoor
The Vice President of the United States informed me over the phone that Pakistan was planning a major attack. "I responded firmly, saying that if Pakistan had such intentions, they would have to pay a heavy price," he added.
Notably, just minutes before Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his speech in Parliament, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi sharply criticised the Centre, alleging that the armed forces lacked "freedom of operation and manoeuvre" during Operation Sindoor. In a strong rebuttal, PM Modi asserted that the government had given the military complete autonomy and stressed that Pakistan was left powerless in response.
“We conducted a precision strike at the location where terrorists in Pahalgam were receiving training,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Recalling Pakistan’s desperation during the offensive, PM Modi said, “Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) contacted us and said, ‘Bas karo, bahut maara hai’ (Please stop, we've suffered enough), pleading for a ceasefire.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday credited the people of India for standing firmly with him during Operation Sindoor, saying their support empowered the government to act decisively against terrorism.
“After the Pahalgam attack, I had promised to eliminate the elements of terror. That promise has been fulfilled,” the Prime Minister said while addressing a public gathering.
Responding to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s allegations that the armed forces were restrained by the government, PM Modi said, “The armed forces were given a free hand to take down the terrorists and teach them a lesson. No restrictions were imposed.”
In a sharp warning to Islamabad, PM Modi added, “We do not differentiate between terrorist masterminds and the governments that support them. They will be treated as one.”
Referring to the ongoing military action, the Prime Minister asserted that Operation Sindoor was still underway. “If Pakistan dares to make another mistake, it will have to pay a heavy price,” he warned.
PM Modi claimed that no international leader asked India to halt the operation. “There was no pressure from any global power. We acted in India’s interest, and we acted firmly,” he said.
He further revealed that India’s missile defence systems successfully intercepted and neutralised Pakistani drone and missile attacks during the course of the operation.

"No proper security or medical arrangement were ensured at the place leaving the people at mercy of God," she said.
"Why was not even one security personnel present there — in Baisaran Valley, Pahalgam?" she asked in the Lok Sabha during the Operation Sindoor debate. "Is the safety and security of citizens not the responsibility of the Prime Minister, the Home Minister, and the Defence Minister?" she added.
In a sharp jibe at the Modi government, SP MP Akhilesh Yadav said that it was President Donald Trump who was asked to announce the ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
"When the ceasefire between India and Pakistan happened, who announced it? Did our government do it? No. Centre asked its 'friend' Donald Trump to do it instead," Akhilesh said in the House, targeting the ruling BJP.

Few members of the Opposition have been asking how many of our aircraft were shot down? I feel their question does not adequately represent our national sentiments. They have not asked us how many enemy aircraft our Armed Forces shot down. If they must ask a question, it should be whether India destroyed terrorist bases, and the answer to that is, yes...
