In a bold move, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has leveraged an interview wiht Chief of Defense Staff Anil Chauhan to challenge the BJP-led central government. He directly questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking whether the nation has been kept in the dark about the recent skirmishes with Pakistan. Kharge’s remarks come amid rising tensions and calls for transparency regarding military operations, especially Operation sindoor, which allegedly involved the destruction of Indian fighter jets.
Kharge’s demand for a special parliamentary session to address these concerns reflects a growing unease among opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi. The Pakistani Prime Minister, Shahbaz Sharif, claimed that during Operation Sindoor, four Rafale jets and two other Indian aircraft were destroyed. however, the Modi government has remained tight-lipped on the matter, prompting Congress leaders to press for clarity. The recent acknowledgment by Anil Chauhan regarding the loss of aircraft in the conflict has only intensified the call for accountability. As the political landscape heats up, the question remains: what is the true story behind Operation Sindoor, and why has the government been so reticent?
