Addressing an all-party meeting called prior to the session, Rijiju also urged increased coordination between the government and the opposition to facilitate the smooth functioning of the House. “We are very much open to discussing important issues like Operation Sindoor in Parliament.

The government, however, insists that it is ready for a productive and debate-filled session. During the all-party meeting, opposition leaders flagged a series of issues they will bring to prominence in Parliament, such as so-called irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, the recent terror strike at Pahalgam, and Trump's claim of mediation.&nbsp;Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said his party had demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement in Parliament on Trump’s claim, the lapses that led to the Pahalgam attack, and the ongoing SIR process in Bihar. Sanjay Singh of the Aam Aadmi Party said he raised concerns over what he termed a “poll scam” involving the SIR exercise, and Trump's repeated assertion that he brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.&nbsp;The all-party meeting was presided over by Union minister and Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha JP Nadda, with Kiren Rijiju and MoS Arjun Ram Meghwal on behalf of the government. Representatives from Congress included Gaurav Gogoi and Jairam Ramesh, NCP (Sharad Pawar) MP Supriya Sule, DMK's TR Baalu, and Union minister Ramdas Athawale of the Republican Party of India (A).
