Prime Minister Narendra Modi has convened a meeting of his council of ministers for Wednesday, the first since “Operation Sindoor,” while the government continues to ignore the Opposition’s call for a special Parliament session to discuss the military operation.
Sources indicate the meeting will primarily focus on showcasing the government’s achievements on the first anniversary of Modi’s third term, which falls on June 9. Discussions will also include the post-“Operation Sindoor” situation and strategies to promote “Viksit Bharat” (developed India), including Modi’s emphasis on domestic products.
A detailed presentation of various departments’ accomplishments is expected at the meeting, with the government and BJP planning outreach events to highlight “transformational changes” under Modi’s 11-year tenure. A BJP leader stated, “Special emphasis will be on discussing how government departments can encourage the use of indigenous products.”
Modi is also scheduled to meet with diplomatic outreach delegations on June 9 and 10, aimed at garnering international support for India and isolating Pakistan regarding “Operation Sindoor.” The government intends to leverage these meetings to maintain focus on the operation and claim diplomatic victories.
Meanwhile, the Congress party has intensified its demand for a special Parliament session to debate “Operation Sindoor,” particularly after General Anil Chauhan’s recent admission in an interview that India lost fighter jets during the offensive.
