New Delhi (TIP)- Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday, May 22, launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that he had compromised India’s honour by agreeing to pause military action against Pakistan during the recent Operation Sindoor.
Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Gandhi questioned Modi’s decisions, writing: “Modi ji, stop giving hollow speeches. Just tell: Why did you believe Pakistan’s statement on terrorism? Why did you sacrifice India’s interests by bowing to Trump? Why does your blood boil only in front of cameras? You have compromised the prestige of India!”
Gandhi, who now serves as Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, also shared a video clip of the prime minister stating that India had acknowledged Pakistan’s assurance of refraining from supporting terrorism or engaging in military aggression.
The Congress party has repeatedly criticised the government for calling off Operation Sindoor, a cross-border military operation targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Rahul Gandhi ‘poster boy of Pakistan’: BJP
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has once again slammed Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of “giving oxygen to Pakistan”. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra claimed that Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) cited Rahul Gandhi’s remarks to claim India was “lying” during Operation Sindoor. Sambit Patra alleged that during Operation Sindoor, Pakistani officials used statements by Indian opposition leaders to challenge India’s narrative and cast doubt on the operation’s legitimacy. He said such remarks benefit Pakistan’s propaganda.
Patra said, “Rahul Gandhi has been asking for proof for two days. Today, the whole world and even Pakistan itself are providing evidence. We have kept digital evidence. Evidence upon evidence is being presented. The Pakistanis themselves have shown the dead bodies of their terrorists. The terrorists themselves were seen standing to bury the terrorists. Despite the fact that the whole world has seen this evidence, you are still asking for proof of the indomitable courage of the army.”
