Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding the immediate convening of a Special Session of Parliament to discuss Operation Sindoor and the government’s sudden ceasefire decision. Sanjay Singh’s letter expresses deep concern over the Prime Minister’s repeated absence from critical national discussions, and the lack of transparency in decisions that have major implications for India’s sovereignty and national security.
Addressing PM Modi, AAP Rajya Sabha Sanjay Singh wrote: “I write to you as a concerned Member of Parliament and as a representative voice of the people of India, who seek clarity, leadership, and transparency on matters of national security. Following the tragic incident in Pahalgam, the Indian Army rightly took swift and commendable action by launching Operation Sindoor, successfully targeting terrorist camps across the border. This was a moment of national unity and military assertiveness.
The Rajya Sabha further wrote, “However, I would like to draw your attention to certain serious concerns that have emerged thereafter:
- Repeated Absence from All-Party Meetings: The Government conducted two all-party meetings to brief political parties about the operation. Regrettably, you, the Prime Minister of India, were not present at either. Your absence has been deeply felt by all parties, and more importantly, by the people of India who expected a strong and unifying presence from their leader at such a crucial moment.
- Sudden Ceasefire Announcement Influenced by Foreign Pressure: Just as the momentum was building and the Indian Army was perceived to be in a strong position to reclaim Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), we were surprised to learn of an immediate ceasefire through a tweet by the U.S. President Donald Trump. He claimed that both India and Pakistan had been threatened with trade sanctions unless they agreed to a ceasefire.
- No Response from Your Office: Despite the multiple public statements and tweets by the U.S. President regarding the ceasefire, there was no rebuttal or clarification issued by your office. This silence has raised doubts and weakened the confidence of citizens in the government’s resolve to protect India’s sovereignty.
- Why has the Government not yet traced and identified the perpetrators of the Pahalgam incident, and what are the reasons for the delay?”
Sanjay Singh pointed out that this sequence of events has left 144 crore Indians with unanswered questions about the decision-making process behind the ceasefire and the Government’s foreign policy posture. The lack of transparency and leadership at such a critical juncture has harmed the perception of our sovereignty.
In light of the above, the AAP Rajya Sabha MP demanded the immediate convening of a Special Session of Parliament to provide a comprehensive briefing on Operation Sindoor and the ceasefire decision, thereby restoring public faith in our constitutional institutions. “I urge you to rise to the occasion and address the nation through Parliament,” concluded the letter.
