Jammu: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday asked the Opposition leader in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi to join the nation in celebrating the success of Operation Sindoor and not indulge in ‘petty politics’ to score political points. It also accused Congress of always backstabbing the nation.
Speaking to reporters, BJP leader Ravinder Raina said as per news agency PTI, “This is not the time for politics…the terrorists bled India by carrying out a dastardly attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam on April 22 and faced the wrath of the Indian forces under Operation Sindoor on the intervening night of May 6 and 7. This is not a political fight but a fight against terrorism.”
‘Whole nation saluting armed forces’
“The whole nation is saluting the armed forces and the Modi-led government for the success of Operation Sindoor which brought Pakistan to its knees. Do politics at the time of elections and not this time when everyone is joining the ‘Tiranga Yatra’ with their hearts filled with nationalism,” he added.
Accusing the Congress of being responsible for terrorism and separatism in the country, he added, “Do not betray the nation. Your party is directly responsible for terrorism and separatism in the country and always backstabbed the nation. The country will never forget you and your party.”
Further interacting with reporters, he noted that terrorism will be rooted out of the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Raina, a former J&K BJP president, said “Pakistan is not understanding the language of peace and that is the reason Modi taught them what they understand well,” the agency further quoted him as saying on the recent launch of Operation Sindoor against the neighbouring country.
“Operation Sindoor is just a trailer by our forces and Modi and we are capable of showing them the whole picture,” he noted further.
