Jairam says ‘Our MPs are also roaming & Pahalgam terrorists are also roaming’, BJP criticises
In a shocking and controversial statement, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh drew a comparison between Pahalgam terrorists and the MPs who are part of India’s delegation on Operation Sindoor. He said, “Our MPs are also roaming, and terrorists are roaming too.” The comment has sparked a heated debate, with the BJP criticising him for making an “atrocious comparison” that undermines the country’s military and diplomatic efforts.
Operation Sindoor is a high-profile diplomatic mission that aims to airlift Indians stranded in Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict. The delegation, led by Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan, includes several MPs from various political parties, including the BJP and Congress.
In a tweet, Jairam Ramesh said, “Our MPs are also roaming, and terrorists are roaming too. Pahalgam terrorists and our MPs who are part of the Ukraine operation are roaming freely. It’s a shame that our MPs are not taking this crisis seriously.” The tweet sparked widespread outrage and criticism, with many accusing him of insulting the MPs who are part of the delegation.
The BJP was quick to respond, with party spokesperson Sambit Patra saying, “Jairam Ramesh makes the most atrocious comparison. This is how Congress undermines not just Military Strike (Operation Sindoor )…but also diplomatic strike.” Patra added that the Congress leader should apologize for his “shameful” comment.
The controversy has also sparked a debate on social media, with many people defending Jairam Ramesh’s statement as a genuine concern about the MPs’ conduct during the crisis. Some have pointed out that the MPs were seen enjoying themselves during the trip, while others have criticized them for not taking the crisis seriously enough.
On the other hand, many have criticized Jairam Ramesh for his choice of words and the timing of his tweet. They argue that the comment was unnecessary and could have been made in a more constructive manner. Some have also accused him of trying to score political points by attacking the BJP MPs who are part of the delegation.
The controversy has also raised questions about the conduct of MPs during such crises. While some have argued that the MPs should be free to enjoy themselves during their downtime, others have suggested that they should be more mindful of the optics and the impact of their actions on the public.
In conclusion, Jairam Ramesh’s comment has sparked a heated debate, with both sides presenting their arguments. While some have defended the Congress leader’s statement as a genuine concern, others have criticized him for making an “atrocious comparison” that undermines the country’s military and diplomatic efforts. The controversy has also raised important questions about the conduct of MPs during such crises and the role they play in representing the country.
