Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Sunday reiterated the opposition party's demand for convening a special session of Parliament, which he said would send a message of unity in India's fight against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism to the world.
He also demanded the government's "clarification" on facts regarding the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor, and the "ceasefire" announcement.
Pilot was speaking to reporters after visiting the family of Dinesh Mirania, a Raipur-based businessman who was killed by terrorists in Pahalgam on April 22.
Addressing the media, he said that though a "ceasefire" has been announced, the government should clarify whether it was assured that Pakistan will not carry out any misadventure in future.
"We want the forces responsible for such incidents (Pahalgam attack) to be destroyed forever. A ceasefire has been declared for now, but there should have been credible assurances (to ensure that such incidents do not recur in the future)," Pilot said.

The vote pitted front-runner George Simion, the 38-year-old leader of the hard-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, or AUR, against incumbent Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan. The rerun was held months after the cancellation of the previous election plunged Romania into its worst political crisis in decades.
When voting closed at 9 pm (1800 GMT), 11.6 million people  or about 64 per cent of eligible voters  had cast ballots, according to official electoral data.
About 1.64 million Romanians abroad, who have been able to vote since Friday at specially set-up polling stations, participated in the vote.
Turnout was significantly higher in Sunday's runoff and is expected to play a decisive role in the outcome. In th
