'Congress importing issues from Pakistan,' says PM Modi in Lok Sabha - top quotes

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said India took only 22 minutes to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam attack, as he participated in the debate on Operation Sindoor in Lok Sabha .

"I stand here to present India’s side and to show mirror to those who refuse to see it," PM Modi said.
