Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized Rahul Gandhi for his claims in Parliament that the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) hands were “tied” during Operation Sindoor, asserting that the government had imposed no restrictions on their actions. IAF Chief Amar Preet Singh reaffirmed this, stating that the forces had full freedom to plan and execute their operations, attributing the success of the mission to clear political will and self-determined rules of engagement. Rijiju urged Gandhi to uphold the decorum of Parliament, emphasizing that such remarks damage India’s reputation. This exchange highlights the importance of clarity and truth in discussions about national security and military operations.
