Monsoon session like 'Vijay Utsav'; PM Modi hails Operation Sindoor
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said Parliament's Monsoon session is like a 'Vijay Utsav' as the Indian armed forces achieved their objectives under Operation Sindoor 100 per cent, and expressed confidence that the MPs will articulate this sentiment in one voice.
The Monsoon session is a 'Vijay Utsav' (victory celebration) as the might of India's military power and capability were manifested in Operation Sindoor, he said.
"In Operation Sindoor, the Indian armed forces achieved the objectives that were laid out 100 per cent. The armed forces under 22 minutes, as part of Operation Sindoor, hit the masters of terrorism in their homes and reduced their hideouts to rubble," Modi said.
"I had said in Bihar that our military prowess had been manifested in a very short span of time. The world has also been drawn to the military capability of 'Made in India'," he said.
Modi expressed confidence that during the Session, the MPs in one voice and with a victorious spirit will articulate these feelings that will strengthen India's military capability, inspire the people, and will also give a boost to the Made in India defence capabilities.
He also said that the brutal massacre in Pahalgam shocked the entire world and drew global attention to terrorism and its epicentre.
Modi also hailed his government's decisive action against naxalism, saying "the red corridors are turning into green growth zones".
"The country has been suffering from violent incidents from the start, be it terrorism or naxalism. But today Naxalism and Maoism are shrinking big time. With the objective of uprooting naxalism, security forces are moving ahead with a new enthusiasm," he said.
"I can say with pride that in the country, numerous districts have come out of the grip of naxalism and are breathing freely. Our Constitution is winning," Modi said.
He also hailed the economic transformation in the last 11 years, saying that when his government took office India was part of the fragile five but was now moving forward towards becoming the third biggest economy.
Referring to astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla's space sojourn, Modi said that for the first time, India's tricolour flew at the International Space Station.
"This was a moment of pride for every person in the country. Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will in one voice hail this achievement," he said.
Peace and development is moving ahead shoulder to shoulder in the last decade, Modi said.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
