Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal put off a "major revelation" he was to make on Friday in the wake of the Indian surgical strikes on terrorists in Pakistani territory.
And in a rare show of unity, the AAP-dominated assembly unanimously passed a resolution hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian Army for targeting the terrorists across the Line of Control (LoC).
Speaking towards the end of the day's session, Kejriwal said he was putting off the promised revelation in the light of the "situation at the border".
He did briefly refer to the frequent arrests of his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs, saying they were being framed in false cases as part of a larger conspiracy.
"We wanted to present this in the assembly today. But because of the prevalent situation at the border, it is our duty to stand by the Central government," he said to thumping of desks by members.
"We can sort out our issues at a later date," Kejriwal said.
On Thursday, Kejriwal first postponed and then cancelled a press conference after the government said the army carried out surgical strikes across the LoC on Wednesday night.
Earlier, moving a resolution condemning the September 18 attack on an army camp that killed 19 soldiers, Kejriwal extended wholehearted support to the Central government for any steps it takes in the country's interest.
"We will support all the steps it takes for internal as well as external security of the nation," he said.
The original resolution hailed the Army for attacking the terrorists.
Opposition leader Vijender Gupta, while backing the resolution, moved an amendment to include Prime Minister Narendra Modi's name for taking the "landmark" decision to attack the terrorist launch pads.
Kejriwal agreed. The resolution was amended to also congratulate Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Home Minister Rajnath Singh and chiefs of armed forces.
Gupta also urged Kejriwal to delete his September 27 tweet referring to an article he had shared with the comment: "Excellent article. On Uri, rather than Pak, India seems to be getting isolated internationally."
"The Chief Minister had tweeted barely three hours before the forces left for the mission. I request him to withdraw his tweet so that it doesn't have a negative impact on the morale of our forces," Gupta said.
RAHUL LAUDS MODI, SAYS HE ACTED LIKE PM FOR FIRST TIME
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Friday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the surgical strikes by the Indian Army on terrorist launch pads across Line of Control (LoC), saying it is first time in two-and-a-half years that he took action befitting the stature of a Prime Minister.
Addressing a gathering here as part of his Kisan Yatra across Uttar Pradesh, he said the whole country and Congress was with the government.
"I want to thank him that for the first time in two-and-a-half years, he has taken action which befits the stature of PM. He has my full support. The entire country and the Congress is with the Prime Minister," Gandhi said.
The army carried out the surgical strikes on late Wednesday night on seven terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir inflicting "significant casualties".
Meanwhile, Gandhi, addressing a meeting in Khurja in Bulandshahr district, said: "When we were in power, we tried our best to improve rural economy. That's why we started MNREGA (rural job guarantee scheme) and food security programme."
He further told the farmers: "If we come to power, we'll try and ensure that you get in return more than 50 per cent the money you invest in farming. Modi ji had promised this, we'll put pressure on him to fulfill it."
