Did the Past Congress Government Approve Troop Movement Information Sharing with Pakistan? BJP MP Reveals 1991 India-Pakistan Pact

New Delhi, May 23 (NationPress) In the midst of the ongoing political turmoil surrounding India's decision to reportedly inform Pakistan prior to military actions on May 7, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has unearthed a historical document concerning the 1991 agreement between India and Pakistan. This pact, he argues, shows that the previous government consented to share crucial military information with the neighboring adversary.

Dubey's provocative statements come amidst escalating debates regarding EAM S Jaishankar’s purported comments about notifying Pakistan ahead of Operation Sindoor. The Congress party has intensified its criticism of the Modi administration, alleging that informing Pakistan constitutes not just a lapse but an act of treason.

Taking to social media platform X, Dubey criticized Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party for their perceived hypocrisy in discussing peace agreements following a ceasefire post-Operation Sindoor.

In his post, he stated, “Rahul Gandhi ji, this document originates from your party's tenure. In 1991, your government agreed to exchange information regarding any military operations or troop movements with Pakistan. Does this not constitute treason?”

“Is it appropriate for Congress, which shows support for Pakistan, to criticize your own Foreign Minister?” he challenged.

Speaking with IANS, Dubey further condemned the Congress party for portraying its former leader Indira Gandhi as a more formidable figure than PM Modi. He asserted, “It was the Congress party and its administration that capitulated to Pakistan.”

“This 1991 agreement was initiated under your (Congress) administration and was put into effect in 1994 under Narasimha Rao. Under this agreement, details of troop placements and actions were to be disclosed 15 days in advance. Doesn’t this amount to treason?” Dubey remarked.

In response, the Congress party dismissed the accusations as misleading and an attempt to divert attention. Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate countered Dubey's claims, asserting that the 1991 agreement was established shortly after Rajiv Gandhi's government concluded its term.

“Nishikant Dubey is misinformed and consistently shows a lack of understanding. The agreement he refers to was signed around April 1991 and was intended for peacetime,” she stated.

She emphasized that this agreement was made during a period of peace, contrasting it with the current situation surrounding Operation Sindoor, thereby reinforcing that Rahul Gandhi's assertions are accurate and that the government appears to be on the defensive.
