The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday launched a scathing attack on Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of making “careless” statements over his repeated questions regarding the ‘losses’ during Operation Sindoor and the government’s silence on former U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims that his administration brokered a truce between India and Pakistan.
While addressing a press conference at BHP headquarters, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said that the Indian Army is being praised across the country and all citizens are standing with them but the Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, find hard to believe in the Army’s action and country’s resolve to take on terror.
“Every citizen is happy with the Armed Forces and is standing with them. But Rahul Gandhi continues to make careless statements. Today, the country is asking Rahul Gandhi about his abusive language against the Prime Minister. Your statements are being supported in Pakistan, also the statements of Congress leaders are being used by Pakistani Parliament to defame India,” he said, IANS reported.
He further alleged that Gandhi should decide whether he is the Leader of the Opposition in India or a recipient of the Nishan-e-Pakistan from Pakistan.
Bhatia added “Rahul Gandhi should decide which side he is on? Are you the leader of the opposition (LoP) of India or the Nishan-e-Pakistan of Pakistan?”
