SP Leader Ram Gopal Yadav

Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav said that there are several issues which are "worrisome".

Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav said, "On the diplomatic front, the Prime Minister has been visiting numerous countries and meeting many leaders over the past several years. However, his so-called friend, Mr Trump, announced the ceasefire, which is a matter of concern."

He further added, "India, being the world’s largest democracy, must not appear to be forced into taking such actions. This warrants a discussion in Parliament, and we are demanding a special session to address it."

Deepender Singh Hooda said that a special session of Parliament must be called so that from Pahalgam to Operation Sindoor to America's announcement of the ceasefire could be discussed.

Sanjay Raut Version

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut stated, "The letter sent to the Prime Minister is not an ordinary one. We represent the main Opposition and are the voice of the people. Considering the recent development, a special session of Parliament should be convened. It will uphold the country’s dignity and ensure transparency for the public."

Raut further questioned, "If a ceasefire can be declared at the behest of President Trump, then why can’t a special session of Parliament be called at the request of the Opposition? Do we need to approach President Trump for that as well?"
