Bengaluru, May 13 (NationPress) In a pointed critique of the Congress leadership, the Karnataka BJP remarked that Indian missiles appear to have impacted them more than the Pakistanis. They urged the historic party to transcend its "partisan agendas".
State BJP President B.Y. Vijayendra stated, "It's deeply ironic - statements made by some Congress leaders have found their way into official briefings of the Pakistan military, used to validate and push its narrative."
"Even Wazir-e-Ala Siddaramaiah (Karnataka CM) received acclaim from the Pakistani media for opposing India's military operations, while a senior Congress figure suggested that Pakistan is an enemy of the BJP, not of the Congress," the BJP leader remarked.
"Given the Congress party's historically mild approach towards Pakistan, what are they striving for by undermining our armed forces' resounding triumph?" Vijayendra questioned.
"In their relentless pursuit against Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, Congress seems to overlook the extraordinary valor and strategic prowess exhibited by our forces. Do they even comprehend the significance of our accomplishments?" he further elaborated.
Vijayendra highlighted, "Operation Sindoor was a monumental success - the Indian Armed Forces penetrated deeply into terrorist frameworks within Pakistan, neutralizing high-value targets, including:
-- Mudassar Khadian Khas (aka Abu Jundal) - a pivotal figure in Jammu and Kashmir terrorist activities and the 2008 Mumbai attacks; designated terrorist by India, the US, and the UN; Hafeez Muhammed Jameel - an internationally recognized terrorist.
-- Mohammad Yusuf Azhar aka Mohd Salim Ghosi Sahab - the mastermind behind the IC 814 hijacking, Daniel Pearl’s murder, and connected to the Mumbai and Pathankot-Pulwama incidents; Khalid aka Abu Akasha - significantly involved in Jammu and Kashmir terror operations.
-- Mohammad Hassan Khan - the mastermind behind the Nagrota attack; Abdul Malik Rouf - accountable for numerous attacks in Jammu and Kashmir; Mudassir Ahmed – linked to the Sonmarg assault; Maulana Abdul Rauf Asghar aka Rauf Azhar – brother of Masood Azhar and planner of the Indian Parliament and Pathankot attacks.
"Each of these individuals was a designated terrorist, many blacklisted by India, the US, and the UN. Furthermore, Indian forces incapacitated 11 Pakistan Air Force bases, rendering them inoperative and compelling Pakistan to urgently seek a ceasefire," Vijayendra emphasized.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership was unequivocal and firm - 'Blood and Water cannot flow together'. His decisive stance led to the continued suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, prioritizing India's interests at last," Vijayendra stated.
"Operation Sindoor represents a landmark achievement - a fusion of strategic military ingenuity and political will. Instead of demoralizing our armed forces with trivial politics, Congress should elevate itself above partisan agendas and commend the steadfast courage of our soldiers and the resolute leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji - a leadership that was conspicuously absent during the tragic events of 26/11," Vijayendra appealed.
This statement arose following remarks from Karnataka Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, IT and BT Minister Priyank Kharge, who indicated that although Indian soldiers have effectively dismantled terrorist hideouts, the Union government's decision to declare a ceasefire has disappointed both the armed forces and Indian citizens.
