BJP MP Responds to Congress President's Remarks on Operation Sindoor

In a recent exchange, BJP MP Sambit Patra has countered Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's characterization of Operation Sindoor as a minor conflict. Patra accused Kharge of providing support to Pakistan, questioning why Hafiz Saeed, a known terrorist, favors Rahul Gandhi. He emphasized that the Indian armed forces executed a significant operation by targeting nine terrorist locations in Pakistan, resulting in the elimination of over 100 militants.

 

Patra further stated that following Pakistan's retaliatory actions, 11 of their airbases were destroyed, leaving the country in distress. He expressed disbelief at Kharge's remarks, labeling them a betrayal of the bravery displayed by the nation and its military. He pointed out that while Rahul Gandhi has been demanding evidence over the past two days, the government has consistently provided digital proof, including admissions from Pakistani sources themselves. This, he argued, has led to Gandhi becoming a 'poster boy' for Pakistan.

 

Earlier, Kharge had criticized the central government for failing to ensure adequate security for tourists, particularly referencing the tragic incident in the Baisaran Valley of South Kashmir, where 26 tourists were killed on April 22. During a rally in Karnataka, he accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of canceling his Kashmir visit just three days after receiving intelligence reports about a potential attack.
