During a special debate in Parliament on Operation Sindoor, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi interrupted Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's speech, questioning the government's decision to halt India's military response after the Pahalgam attack. As Singh described Pakistan's plea to stop hostilities after IAF strikes on May 10, Rahul stood up and asked, “Toh aapne roki kyun (why did you stop)?” Singh responded that the decision was strategic and had been addressed earlier. Congress MPs later demanded clarity on why the ceasefire was accepted if Pakistan had conceded defeat, citing alleged U.S. pressure. Singh reiterated India aimed only to target terror hubs.
