00:00So we support Operation Sindhoor unconditionally.
00:05We also understand, because of issues of national security,
00:10all facts can't be laid out on the table immediately.
00:15But it's still incumbent upon the government to call for a short session of parliament
00:20and to inform the nation through the House about the events post-Pahalga.
00:27And then including what led to the security failure in Pahalga.
00:33So we are asking for a short parliamentary session.
00:36Some legitimate questions will be asked.
00:38Those questions can at times be answered openly.
00:43Some can't be answered openly. We understand that.
00:46But questions will be asked.
00:47And that's only natural in a functioning parliamentary democracy that we ask those questions.
00:52So why are the BJP hesitating to call?
00:56It's really up to the government.
00:57I mean, I think a short session of parliament would be in order.
01:02I think a two-day session in which the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister
01:05can come and take the House into confidence
01:07and tell us what the actions the government has taken post-Sindhoor,
01:13which we only have through press reports and other briefings.
01:16But yesterday the Foreign Secretary has briefed the Foreign Affairs Committee.
01:19But I think more such briefings are necessary.
01:21But I completely understand that they can sometimes not disclose all matters
01:26because this concerns national security.
01:28I think it's an easy one for the first time when the Prime Minister has taken a toll on the Moon.
01:33And that's not fair.
01:33And that's another thing is that the Prime Minister of the Foreign Affairs Committee
01:37can do your support.
01:38And that's coming to the Office of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
01:40So what we're doing here is that
01:43we don't have to decide that we should keep trying time to see the Prime Minister...
01:45So what we're doing here is that it can look like,
01:46we should be trying to do the radio.
01:48And that's what we're doing here.
