NEW DELHI: It was just a coincidence but it definitely blunted what seemed set to be one of opposition's lines of attack during the debate on Operation Sindoor . During the build up to the debate, opposition had looked prepared to corner govt for failing to nab the terrorists who massacred 26 civilians in J&K's Pahalgam.
The killing of three alleged terrorists, including Suleiman, who is believed to the Pahalgam massacre's mastermind, in an encounter near Srinagar on Monday took the sting out of opposition's attack in the House.
SP's Ramashankar Rajbhar, who had come prepared to question the govt on its "failure", did not drop the issue. "Why have the terrorists responsible for this attack not been arrested yet?" he asked. He referred to Rajnath Singh's statement about 100 terrorists having been killed in J&K and asked whether the number included those responsible for Pahalgam.
The joy over the killing of Suleiman was articulated by BJP's Baijyant Panda, "As we are debating this issue, some of us must have seen in the news that Operation Mahadev is being conducted in J&K, targeted at terrorists and it appears that at least one of those eliminated today was involved in the Pahalgam attack."
