New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi was felicitated by the NDA parliamentary party on Tuesday for his government's firm response to the Pahalgam terror attack under Operation Sindoor.

The NDA government has followed the Constitution in its true spirit, he added.

The prime minister also praised Home Minister Amit Shah and noted that he has become the longest-serving incumbent in the ministry, sources said.

In a swipe at the Opposition, he said it must be wondering if it erred by seeking a debate on Operation Sindoor.

Three senior Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commanders were killed in a July 28 encounter code-named 'Operation Mahadev' on the outskirts of Srinagar.

The MPs of the BJP-led ruling alliance met here in their only second such meeting during Parliament's sessions since the government was formed in June 2024.
