"Anything that needs to be done should be...": Rajya Sabha MP Kamal Haasan when asked on Op Sindoor
Jul 28, 2025
New Delhi [India], July 28 : Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) and actor Kamal Haasan on Monday said that topics including Operation Sindoor should only be discussed inside the House.
"Anything that needs to be done should be done inside (the House)," said Rajya Sabha MP while speaking to reporters.
Meanwhile, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday took a swipe at the Opposition during a discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, stating that the focus must not remain on small issues when aiming to achieve a higher feat, as it can divert attention from national security.
"When the aim is to go higher, we should not pay attention to small issues because focusing on issues that remain comparatively small can divert attention from national security," Singh said while addressing the lower house of Parliament on Operation Sindoor.
He criticised the choice of questions raised by the Opposition over time and opined that the queries regarding the felling of Indian planes don't reflect the national sentiments correctly. Singh questioned the Opposition as to why they haven't asked about the destruction of planes on the Pakistani side.
"It is the job of the ruling side to work while keeping in mind the interests of the people, and the opposition's job is to question the government on issues concerning the public...There have been instances where the opposition has inquired about the number of our planes that fell. I don't think this question by the opposition currently represents our national sentiment. They never asked us a single time how many plans of the enemy were destroyed by our forces," Singh added.
The Defence Minister asserted that terrorist camps in Pakistan were destroyed during Operation Sndoor, and India has dealt with terrorists involved in the Pahalagam terror attack by eliminating their masters.
"If they want to pose a question should be whether we destroyed the terrorist camps? The answer is yes. If you have a question to ask, ask this: Were any of our brave soldiers harmed? If you have a question to ask, ask whether terrorists who wiped the Sindoor of our sisters and daughters have been dealt with by our forces in Operation Sindoor, eliminating their masters? The answer is Yes," Singh said
