The Lok Sabha is set for a high-voltage debate on Monday (Jul 28) as Indian lawmakers take up Operation Sindoor, India's military response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which left 26 civilians dead. According to Monday's List of Business, the House will hold a "Special Discussion on India's strong, successful and decisive 'Operation Sindoor' in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam". The ruling BJP-led alliance and the Opposition are expected to clash over the attack and the subsequent Operation Sindoor, which saw targeted strikes on terror infrastructure across the Line of Control, including in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Discussions are also expected on US President Donald Trump's repeated claims that he brokered peace between India and Pakistan.

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has confirmed the debate would run for 16 hours in each House—July 28 in the Lok Sabha and July 29 in the Rajya Sabha.
