Chandigarh: Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Sunday said the opposition has been demanding that the government convene a special session of Parliament and added this would send a message of unity to entire world in India’s fight against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.
The support that the government has got from the country and the opposition on what should be the response post the Pahalgam terror attack is unprecedented and unconditional, Pilot said.
The Congress leader said that a unified voice would be raised against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism if a special session of Parliament is convened which will send a message of India’s unity against terrorism to the world.
“We had demanded a special session of Parliament so that one voice goes out in entire world that entire India is united for country’s sovereignty and integrity… and in this fight to weed out Pakistan-sponsored terror,” he told a news conference here along with Rohtak MP Deepender Singh Hooda and other Congress leaders from Haryana.
Pilot said the multi-party delegation, currently visiting different nations as part of the Centre’s global diplomatic outreach to draw attention to India’s fight against cross-border terrorism, especially in the wake of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, would have got even more weight to keep their views had the Parliament session been convened before they were sent.
Pilot, a former deputy chief minister of Rajasthan, was addressing the media here on the sidelines of ‘Jai Hind Sabha’, which the Congress is organizing across India to salute the supreme valour and success of the armed forces.
