Congress moves privilege notice against Rajnath Singh over Operation Sindoor

Congress leader KC Venugopal on Tuesday moved a privilege notice against Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in the Lok Sabha, alleging that he misled the House by stating during last year’s debate on Operation Sindoor that no Indian soldier had been killed during the military operation.

In a letter to Speaker Om Birla, Venugopal referred to Singh’s statement in the Lok Sabha on July 28, 2025, during the discussion on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor.

“If you have to ask a question, ask whether any harm came to our brave soldiers during this operation,” Singh had said. “The answer to that is no.”
