Akhilesh Yadav Criticizes BJP Amidst India-Pakistan Conflict Ceasefire

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) attitude towards the India-Pakistan ceasefire, emphasizing that victory, rather than a truce, should be celebrated. Speaking at weddings in Jagdishpur and Musafirkhana, Yadav stressed India's commitment to peace and a non-tolerance stance for foreign interference.

He addressed recent operations, including India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir. Despite escalated military action, both nations eventually agreed to a ceasefire. Yadav urged strengthening border security to mitigate future threats.

Yadav also criticized BJP's portrayal of women, referencing a High Court order against a Madhya Pradesh minister for objectionable remarks toward a female Indian Army officer. He cited BJP's repeated failures to act on such issues, contrasting this with their 'nari bandhan' slogan. On matters of party allegiance, he commented on internal party dynamics without addressing former minister Smriti Irani's political moves.
