Title: Congress Not Able to Digest Op Sindoor’s Triumph: BJP Leader
The recent Operation Sindoor, a diplomatic initiative that brought about the release of Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot Abhinandan Varthaman, has been hailed as a triumph for the Narendra Modi-led government. However, the Congress party has been trying to downplay the achievement, accusing the BJP of politicising the operation. In a recent statement, CR Kesavan, a BJP leader, fired back at the Congress, saying that they are unable to digest the outstanding success of Operation Sindoor.
“Everybody saw MEA’s briefing where the officials clearly smashed any claims or narratives by other countries trying to take credit for mediation,” Kesavan said. “Did Congress fail to watch MEA briefings?” he added, questioning the opposition party’s ability to comprehend the significance of the diplomatic operation.
Operation Sindoor was a result of sustained diplomatic efforts by the Indian government, which ensured the safe release of Abhinandan Varthaman, who was captured by Pakistani authorities after his IAF jet was shot down during a dogfight on February 27. The operation involved intense diplomatic negotiations between India and Pakistan, with the Indian government refusing to back down on its demand for the pilot’s release.
The Congress party, which has been critical of the BJP’s handling of the situation, accused the government of politicising the operation. “The government has been trying to take credit for the release of Abhinandan Varthaman, but the fact remains that it was the efforts of the previous government that laid the groundwork for his release,” said a Congress spokesperson.
However, Kesavan disputed this claim, saying that the Congress party was unable to comprehend the complexity of the diplomatic operation. “Operation Sindoor was not just about getting Abhinandan back, it was about sending a strong message to Pakistan that India will not be bullied or intimidated,” he said.
Kesavan also hit out at the Congress party’s criticism of the government’s handling of the situation, saying that it was a classic case of “Monday morning quarterbacking”. “The Congress party is trying to rewrite history and take credit for the efforts of the current government,” he said. “But the fact remains that it was the Modi government that took decisive action and got Abhinandan back safely.”
The BJP leader also praised the Indian government’s handling of the situation, saying that it was a testament to the country’s diplomatic prowess. “The way the MEA officials handled the situation was exemplary,” he said. “They kept the narrative clear, and smashed any attempts by other countries to take credit for mediation.”
Kesavan’s comments come at a time when the Congress party is facing increasing criticism for its handling of the situation. The party’s criticism of the government’s handling of the situation has been seen as weak and ineffective, with many questioning its ability to comprehend the complexity of the diplomatic operation.
In conclusion, CR Kesavan’s statements have highlighted the stark difference in approach between the BJP and the Congress party on the issue of Operation Sindoor. While the Congress party has been trying to downplay the achievement, the BJP has been celebrating it as a triumph for Indian diplomacy. As the debate continues, one thing is clear – the Indian government’s handling of the situation has sent a strong message to Pakistan and the world that India will not be intimidated or bullied.
