NEW DELHI: PM Modi is likely to intervene during the discussion on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack , with Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha set to hold 16-hour debates each on the issues next week.
Though the govt has made no commitment on opposition's demand for the PM's response, it pitched for the discussion to be held next week as Modi will be back by then from his four-day foreign visit, for which he left on Wednesday.
"The PM may choose the occasion to convey his govt's robust response to the terror attack and stand on a host of issues," a BJP neta said. The debate on the conflict with Pakistan will not only have strong national traction but will also be paid attention to by the global community, he said.
On the inauguration day of the monsoon session Monday, Modi had set the tone for the govt's response to opposition's demand for a discussion on Op Sindoor and the Pahalgam attack by declaring India's retaliation against terrorist camps inside Pakistan a "100% success".
Sources said LS will begin the discussion on July 28 and RS a day later, if there are no disruptions. While the govt had agreed to the 16-hour discussion in LS at a business advisory committee meeting on July 21, a similar decision was taken at RS's BAC meeting Wednesday.
Congress' deputy leader in RS Pramod Tiwari, who attended the BAC meeting, claimed, "We have demanded that PM should be present during the discussion, and we have been assured of that by the govt."
