Rajnath Singh Lauds 'Operation Sindoor', Criticizes Opposition's Misplaced Focus

In the Lok Sabha on Monday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh took aim at the opposition, accusing them of focusing on misplaced priorities during the 'Operation Sindoor' debate. He defended the operation's success and criticized opposition questions about potential Indian aircraft losses, stating they did not align with national sentiment.

Singh underscored the roles of government and opposition, emphasizing the latter's duty to challenge significant matters affecting citizens. He questioned the relevance of concerns over downed aircraft, highlighting instead the operation's achievements, including the elimination of terrorist bases and the untouched safety of Indian soldiers.

Lauding 'Operation Sindoor' as a historic and effective military stride against terrorism, Singh also paid homage to the brave soldiers ready to sacrifice for the nation. The operation was a strategic response to the Pahalgam terror attack, leading to neutralizations and a subsequent ceasefire with Pakistan.
