Chandigarh, June 4 (NationPress) The BJP's national General Secretary Tarun Chugh urged Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to cease his imitation of Operation Sindoor.
Chugh emphasized that this operation was about widows who suffered due to Pakistan's ISI schemes, and Mann's remarks are a mockery of these women's suffering.
“His disgraceful and offensive comments reveal a deeply flawed mindset,” he stated.
Chugh highlighted that such statements undermine women's dignity and trivialize the emotional scars of widows from the Pahalgam terror attack.
“Operation Sindoor symbolizes Indian bravery — a salute to our armed forces' courage. While the nation rallies behind its soldiers, Bhagwant Mann opts to deride their valor. This behavior is not merely politically immature; it signifies moral decay.”
Addressing the AAP directly, Chugh reminded that this is the same party whose senior leader in Delhi was involved in misconduct with a female MP from their ranks, an incident for which a close aide of the Chief Minister was shielded and subsequently awarded a lucrative position in the Punjab CMO.
“When AAP’s Punjab Women Wing President Preeti Malhotra spoke out against this misogyny and internal abuse, she was expelled from the party. This exposes AAP’s true nature — a party that disrespects sacrifice, demeans women, and safeguards offenders. The women of Punjab will not forgive this party,” he asserted.
Punjab's Chief Minister has ignited controversy by ridiculing the military operation, Operation Sindoor, with sarcastic remarks suggesting it was more symbolic than substantial.
Referring to it as the “One Nation, One Husband” initiative, the Chief Minister questioned if sending sindoor to every household would be embraced.
