Rajnath, Shah & others meet to finalise Parliament strategy
Friday, 18 July 2025 () Ahead of the Monsoon session, Union ministers strategized on key issues like Bihar's electoral rolls, the Pahalgam attack, and Operation Sindoor, amidst opposition pressure. Congress demands parliamentary discussion on the Pahalgam terror attack and seeks clarity on Operation Sindoor following claims made by Donald Trump. The INDIA bloc is set to meet online to strategize before the session begins.
China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao.
Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives.
