🛡️ Operation Sindoor: A Brief Overview 🕵️

🧠 MediaFx Opinion: A Marxist Perspective ✊
The government's reluctance to convene a special session on matters of national security raises concerns about transparency and accountability. From a working-class viewpoint, it's imperative that elected representatives address issues impacting citizens' safety and well-being. Avoiding such discussions undermines democratic principles and the public's right to be informed about actions taken in their name.
