In a no-holds-barred attack, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using the armed forces to protect his image after the Pahalgam attack and dared him to rebut US President Donald Trump’s India-Pakistan ceasefire claims.
According to PTI, “If Modi ji has even 50 percent of the courage that Indira Gandhi had, then clearly he must say in Parliament — Donald Trump is lying,” he said.
Gandhi also said that if the government had listened to his statement in Lok Sabha a few months ago on China and Pakistan fusing together, they would “not have lost five aircraft” during Operation Sindoor.
Participating in a special discussion in Lok Sabha on “India’s strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam”, he claimed the government revealed sensitive details about Operation Sindoor to Pakistan, soon after it was launched.
“Yesterday, I watched Rajnath Singh ji’s speech. He said that Operation Sindoor began at 1:05 in the morning and lasted for 22 minutes. He said a very shocking thing: that at 1:35, we called Pakistan and told them that we had hit non-military targets and we didn’t want escalation. These are the words of the Defence Minister of India,” the former Congress president said.
