Parliament
recently held a discussion on ‘Operation Sindoor’, a joint operation by the
Indian armed forces against terrorist outfits in Pakistan. Entire opposition
including Congress were consistently demanding a discussion in Parliament on
this issue. Congress’ prince Rahul Gandhi and his sidekicks were also alleging
that the government is not ready to discuss this subject in the parliament. The
Modi government refuted the opposition’s allegation by discussing this issue in
detail. Rahul Gandhi’s objection that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not
speaking a word on this matter also turned out to be totally false.
Defence
Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs
Minister S. Jaishankar also shed light in detail on various aspects related to
‘Operation Sindoor’ and the subsequent developments. This helped expose
Congress’ pro Pakistan stand in front of the nation once again. Congress’
prince, while speaking in Lok Sabha, questioned why the action by armed forces
against Pakistan was stopped and also bragged that the bravery and courage
should have been shown like his grandmother Indira Gandhi. There is absolutely
no doubt that Mrs Indira Gandhi showed the courage of breaking Bangladesh from
Pakistan and making it an independent nation in 1971.
Jan
Sangh, the main opposition party at that time, had given its complete support
to Indira Gandhi. The world could see the proud picture of the entire
opposition standing in solidarity behind Indira Gandhi. The same picture was
expected during the time of ‘Operation Sindoor’.
However,
the behaviour of opposition parties over the last eleven years has shown time
and again that they do not hesitate to take even an anti-national stand just to
oppose Modi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi completely exposed the Congress’
stand during his speech in the Lok Sabha. Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram,
while speaking on this matter in Rajya Sabha, showed another example of his
love for Pakistan by raising a question ‘Why do you assume that they came from
Pakistan?’ At the same time Praniti Shinde, daughter of another senior Congress
leader and former Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, while making her
point in Lok Sabha insulted the Indian armed forces by calling ‘Operation
Sindoor’ a ‘Tamasha’ performed only for the media. She revealed Congress’
traditional love for Pakistan by blatantly lying that the government is not
giving information on how many terrorists were killed in ‘Operation Sindoor’.
In
the press conference held immediately after ‘Operation Sindoor’, the Indian
armed forces had clearly stated that the only purpose behind this operation was
to destroy terrorist camps in Pakistan. In this operation India targeted 4
terrorist camps located 100 km inside Pakistan and destroyed 5 camps in POK
with great precision.
Officials
of the Indian armed forces had informed in a press conference in New Delhi that
the bases of the terrorist organizations Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba
have been destroyed. Despite that, a public representative like Praniti Shinde
in Lok Sabha by asking questions like ‘what exactly was achieved by this
operation’ and calling ‘Operation Sindoor’ a ‘Tamasha’, cast a doubt on the
actions of the Indian armed forces. Congress has this old habit of insulting
the armed forces. Pakistan launched missile attacks targeting civilian
settlements in India after ‘Operation Sindoor’.
However,
the Indian armed forces repelled all these attacks. After that the Indian armed
forces showed its strength by targeting army bases in Pakistan. Terrified by
these attacks, Pakistan pleaded with India to stop the attacks.
The
Indian armed forces had also clearly stated that they have temporarily stopped
‘Operation Sindoor’ at Pakistan’s request as the aim of teaching Pakistan a
lesson had been achieved. Leaders of the ruling party, ministers at centre were
not briefing the media throughout this period. All the briefings regarding this
operation, losses suffered by Pakistan in this operation were officially done
by representatives of the Indian armed forces itself.
A
modern technique of PowerPoint presentation was used while sharing information
about this operation. In spite of this Congress leaders have no shame in
doubting the bravery of the Indian armed forces by making statements like what
was achieved through ‘Operation Sindoor’ at the supreme level like Lok Sabha.
Few
days back, Rahul Gandhi had demanded information on the number of aircrafts
shot down by Pakistan in ‘Operation Sindoor’. The Indian armed forces had
already given a clear explanation on this. Pakistan’s Prime Minister had made
the ridiculous claim that their army had shot down Indian planes. However, the
government of Pakistan failed to provide a single evidence of this. Instead of
demanding information about the damage done to Pakistan, Rahul Gandhi was
asking for the information on the number of Indian aircrafts that were shot
down.
Today,
Rahul Gandhi is making childish remarks like asking why ‘Operation Sindoor’ was
stopped?, Modi Government lacks courage to take action against Pakistan, but he
will conveniently forget that no action was taken against Pakistan after the
Mumbai attacks in 2008 despite the readiness of Indian armed forces only
because of the weak stand taken by Sonia Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi also forgot that
his grandmother unconditionally released over one lakh Pakistani soldiers. The
prince is even oblivious to the fact that he is speaking the language of
Pakistan just to oppose Modi and BJP.
