pm-ko-bulao-opposition-walks-out-during-shah-s-rs-speech

A heated session unfolded in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday as the Opposition interrupted Union Home Minister Amit Shah's speech during a debate on 'Operation Sindoor,' ultimately leading to a walkout.

The Opposition members were demanding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi be present in the House to answer their questions directly. As Shah began his address, he was met with repeated shouts of 'PM ko bulao' (call the Prime Minister). In response, Shah attempted to calm the situation, stating that he was prepared to address their concerns. 

 

"You have to deal with me first. Why do you want to call the PM? You will have more difficulty," he said. He further clarified that while PM Modi was 'very much in office,' he could and would respond to their questions. "If I can respond and clarify, then why insist on hearing from him?" Shah questioned.

Despite his attempts, the Opposition members remained standing and continued their slogans. Following this, the Leader of the Opposition, Mallikarjun Kharge, formally reiterated the demand. He argued that the questions being raised pertained specifically to Prime Minister Modi and that his absence, despite being in Delhi, was "disrespect of the Rajya Sabha."

After Kharge's statement, the Opposition members staged a walkout, exiting the House while Amit Shah continued his address.

This incident occurred a day after Prime Minister Modi had spoken in the Lok Sabha during the same "Operation Sindoor" debate. During his speech, the Prime Minister had claimed that the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack was avenged in "22 minutes." He also detailed "Operation Mahadev," an operation in which the three attackers involved in the Pahalgam incident were killed. 

Furthermore, he addressed US President Donald Trump's claims of having brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Modi stated that on the night of May 9, US Vice President JD Vance had tried to contact him multiple times. "I was busy with meetings with the armed forces," Modi said, adding that when he eventually returned the call, the US Vice President warned him of a large-scale attack from Pakistan. Modi recounted his response, "I told him that if Pakistan attacks India, our attack would be much bigger."
