New Delhi, May 5 (NationPress) In a sharp critique aimed at the Congress and the Gandhi Family, BJP's Information Technology cell chief Amit Malviya on Monday referred to the party as a collection of 'nincompoops' who have garnered favor with the Pakistani media by undermining the morale of the Indian Armed Forces.
In a biting remark shared on social media, Malviya attributed the so-called 'decay' within the party to the Gandhis. He stated, 'The Congress is not lacking in nincompoops, and the decay starts with the Gandhis,' in a post on the platform X.
This attack on Congress came in the wake of a controversy involving Uttar Pradesh Congress leader Ajay Rai, who showcased a toy aircraft labeled Rafale while demanding an immediate military retaliation from India against Pakistan, following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals.
Malviya suggested that Rai's comments about 'no action' were part of a continuing series of efforts by Congress leaders to dishearten the Indian Armed Forces.
Sharing television footage of Pakistani news outlets displaying images of Rai, Malviya remarked, 'Following Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Ajay Rai from Kashi has become the darling of the Pakistani media, echoing their sentiments and ridiculing the Indian Armed Forces.'
On Sunday, Rai asserted that the Indian government was merely engaging in theatrics and shying away from confronting terrorists.
He also brandished a toy aircraft adorned with lemon and chilies, questioning why the newly acquired Rafale fighter jets were still grounded and not deployed against terrorists and their supporters.
The government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has granted the armed forces complete operational authority to determine the method, targets, and timing of India's response.
