Congress leader Ajay Rai has questioned the consistency of statements from India’s military leadership regarding Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan following a deadly attack in Pahalgam. His comments prompted a strong rebuttal from the BJP, asserting that the military remains unified and that the operation was a significant success, causing substantial damage to terrorist capabilities. The BJP accused Rai of undermining the morale of the armed forces, especially as the nation continues to confront cross-border terrorism. The broader significance of this exchange highlights the political tensions surrounding national security and military operations, particularly in the context of upcoming elections, where both credibility and public perception of defense strategies are critical.
