During the monsoon session, leader of Opposition in lok sabha rahul gandhi gave his statement on the pahalgam terror attack on tuesday (July 29, 2025). leader of Opposition and congress MP rahul gandhi said in the lok sabha that after the pahalgam terror attack, the government tied the hands of the pilots, but in 1971, former prime minister Indira gandhi had given a free hand to the army.
He said, "The indian government has made a mistake. We have a fight with someone and we tell him that Bhaiya, it is okay now, we do not want a fight. We have slapped you once, we will not slap you again. The mistake was not of the army, but of the government."
What did rahul gandhi say on Trump's ceasefire claim?
Rahul said, "Trump has said 29 times that we stopped the war. If he has the guts, the prime minister should say here in the house that he is lying. If he has even 50 percent of the courage of Indira gandhi, he will say it here. If he really has the guts, the PM should say here that donald trump is lying."
A new word is in vogue these days: Rahul
He said, "A new thing has come into vogue, a new word has come into vogue - New Normal. The Foreign minister used it here. In his speech, he said that all islamic countries have condemned it, but did not tell that after pahalgam, not a single country condemned Pakistan. Every country condemned terrorism." The government has told that you do not have the will to fight - rahul Gandhi
He said, "The Defense minister said in the house that we told pakistan at 1.35 pm that we have attacked the terrorist camps. This was not escalation. Now there should be no escalation. You surrendered to pakistan in 30 minutes. This told that you do not have the will to fight. The government tied the hands and feet of the pilots."
Opposition leader rahul gandhi called the pahalgam attack cruel and said that whatever happened was wrong. Everyone condemned it. We stood with the elected government like a rock. We went to Narwal Sahab's house after the pahalgam attack, his son was in the Navy. We also went to meet the victim's family in UP. We also met the victim's family in Kashmir. We keep meeting people for political work. When you shake hands, then it becomes clear that this is a tiger. tiger has to be given freedom. The Navy has to be given complete freedom. Political will is needed. Political will is necessary to use the army. In 1971, the then prime minister did not care about America. One lakh Pakistani soldiers surrendered.”
