New Delhi, May 23 (NationPress) BJP MP Nishikant Dubey criticized the Congress party on Friday for its inconsistent stance regarding Operation Sindoor. He stated that the magnitude of the operation not only left the enemy astonished but also surprised the longstanding party. In an interview with IANS, Dubey highlighted Congress' history of questioning its own armed forces while seemingly siding with adversaries, to the point of adopting their rhetoric.
"The Opposition failed to grasp how such a significant strike could occur without entering Pakistani territory, and they incessantly demanded evidence of the surgical strike. Now, that evidence has come to light," he remarked.
“Our military unleashed a barrage on Pakistani installations. This was made possible due to substantial defense acquisitions and the enhancement of our indigenous defense capabilities. Our homegrown technologies thwarted aerial assaults, while Made in India weaponry wreaked havoc in Pakistan. Congress' continual skepticism about Operation Sindoor merely reflects its own frustration,” the BJP MP asserted.
He also condemned Congress for leveraging Donald Trump’s claims of mediation as a political tool, stating, "Congress lacks faith in its own Army and Prime Minister. In pursuit of vote bank politics, it puts its trust in Pakistan."
“Perhaps they should rename themselves the Pakistani Congress Party,” he said, delivering a pointed rebuke.
When asked about Rahul Gandhi's persistent questioning of the government, especially regarding External Affairs Minister Jaishankar’s ‘admission’ that India notified Pakistan before the military operation, he responded, “What could be more unfortunate? Have you ever seen the BJP challenge the Army?”
“We too have experienced being in the opposition. Except for a few years, Congress governed this nation for 60 years. Even then, we never questioned the Army. In this nation, the Army is beyond reproach. We take pride in our Army,” he concluded.
