Article: Breaking News from Delhi: NCP MP Sule拒讨论Pahalgam恐怖袭击
The National Conference Party (NC) (SP) MP Supriya Sule, who broke ranks with the opposition by demanding a special session of Parliament on Pahalgam terror attacks, expressed that the Congress had contacted her when she was abroad leading a delegation, and she said they should wait as it was not the right time to ask the government hard questions. She stated that the country needed to show a united face, adding that it was time for the country to take a united stand.
Earlier in the week, 16 opposition parties, led by the Congress, wrote to Prime Minister Modi demanding a special session to discuss serious questions facing the nation regarding terror attacks, casualties, ceasefire announcements, and implications on national security and foreign policy.
The Congress said they had supported the government’s efforts to engage with the international community, but had not briefed the media or Parliament, keeping them in the dark regarding sensitive issues.
Sule mentioned that the Congress pressured her last year, and even though she was abroad leading a delegation, she said the law of tempo and sequence applies and it was not feasible to discuss these issues now. She added that this was not the time for parliamentarians to engage in "petty politics," and that India should send a united message using the country’s unity.
Sule said that after the ongoing Operation Sindoor is completed, her party will ask the government hard questions but not now. She also said that the group will provide valuable feedback to the government during the Monsoon session.
She encouraged the Middle East countries she visited with her delegation, namely Egypt, Qatar, Ethiopia, and South Africa, to stand with the country if any terror attack occurs during their visit. Sule added that once the fallout from Operation Sindoor has settled, India will definitely ask questions. This is not just about detailing their last visit and discussion points but understanding where they made mistakes in this process.
While the meeting might seem nonpolitical in nature, NDFB since 2006 has been the nadir of the NPA movement, influencing national security. Today, the coalition is facing pressure from Pakistan, and President Xi initiated efforts to de-escalate the tension through high-level bilateral meetings between India and Pakistan. There is a growing consensus in India that it needs to counter China militarily, affirm China’s recognition of India’s Internet control after India’s ban on 590 Chinese Apps.
