Kapil Sibal Urges Parliamentary Unity on Terrorism

Kapil Sibal calls for a special parliament session to condemn the Pahalgam terror attack and unite MPs to create international diplomatic pressure on Pakistan. He suggests India should condone trade with nations allied with Pakistan similar to US sanctions. Sibal critiques Modi's absence in crisis discussions.

In a fervent appeal, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to convene a special session of Parliament to denounce the recent Pahalgam terror attack. Sibal emphasized the importance of showcasing the nation's unity in combating terrorism on the global stage.

The former Union minister proposed sending delegations of MPs from both ruling and opposition parties to key international allies to apply diplomatic pressure on Pakistan. He argued for trade constraints on countries dealing with Pakistan, mirroring US-style sanctions.

Criticizing PM Modi for missing an all-party meeting, Sibal insisted on collective action against terrorism, condemning political gains from innocent lives lost to terror. He further urged the United Nations to play a decisive role in counter-terrorism efforts with the Security Council involved.
