In the backdrop of the ongoing India-Pakistan conflict, an Indian delegation comprising leaders from various political parties is actively highlighting the actions of terrorist groups in Pakistan on international platforms. They are also discussing the necessity of measures like Operation Sindoor. Concurrently, domestic politics surrounding the India-Pakistan issue is intensifying, with the Congress party persistently accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of capitulating to the United States.
Recently, Congress launched a fresh attack on PM Modi through a social media post featuring the iconic red 'Make America Great Again' cap worn by former President Donald Trump, but with the phrase 'Narendra Surrender' inscribed on it.
In recent days, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been vocal in alleging that PM Modi surrendered to Donald Trump during the recent military tensions with Pakistan, effectively halting military operations. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) responded by condemning Gandhi's remarks as not only a severe insult to the armed forces but also tantamount to treason. Pawan Khera, head of the BJP's media department, claimed that the current government's foreign policy has devolved into a 'surrender policy.'
The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of disrespecting the armed forces with his comments regarding Modi's alleged surrender, asserting that such statements undermine the success of Operation Sindoor. National spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi remarked that Gandhi's comments have even surpassed the support shown for Pakistan by its military chief and prime minister.
While leading a bipartisan delegation for Operation Sindoor in the United States, Shashi Tharoor was questioned about Gandhi's controversial 'Narendra Surrender' remark. He clarified that there was no question of any external pressure influencing India's decisions. Tharoor emphasized the respect India holds for the U.S. president, stating that India has never sought mediation. He added that there was no need for anyone to urge India to halt its actions, as the message was clear: India would pause only when Pakistan does.
