New Delhi [India], June 3 (ANI): Congress MP Deepender Hooda on Tuesday, speaking after the meeting of the INDIA bloc, stated that the government of the country should put forward their views in the Parliament when they were doing it in front of the world too.

'When the Govt of India is putting forward its views in front of the world, I think the govt should do the same in the Parliament as well...' Hooda told ANI.

He further stated that there should be a special session in Parliament to thank the armed forces and to hold a discussion on issues, including the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor.

'Today, 16 political parties of the opposition have written a letter to PM Modi that a special session of the Parliament must be called so that all the parties can thank our armed forces. From Pahalgam to Operation Sindoor to America's announcement of the ceasefire to delegations going across the world, we should have discussions on them in the Parliament...We should also discuss how to eradicate terrorism and our further strategies in the Parliament...' he further stated.

Earlier in the day, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut emphasised the importance of the opposition's voice in Parliament.

After the meeting at the press conference, Raut said, 'There are signatures of 16 political parties on the letter that we have written to the Prime Minister. This is not a normal letter. The opposition is the voice of the public. We want a special session to be called to discuss whatever has happened in the country so far...'

Raut questioned the government, asking, 'If a ceasefire was called on the suggestion of President Trump, then why can't a special session be held even after repeated requests from the Opposition? Should we go to President Trump for a special session?'

Sixteen political parties of the INDIA alliance have written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding a special session of Parliament to discuss the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Operation Sindoor and Trump's announcement on Tuesday. (ANI)
