BJP Accuses Rahul Gandhi of Spreading 'Fake News' on Operation Sindoor

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of acting as a 'propaganda tool' for Pakistan by spreading 'fake news.' The allegations arose after Gandhi criticized the government based on External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's remarks over India's Operation Sindoor.

Gandhi had posted a video clip of Jaishankar that led to questions about whether India informed Pakistan ahead of the operation. BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari strongly refuted Gandhi's claims, suggesting the Congress may be displeased with the operation's dismantling of terror infrastructure in Pakistan.

The Press Information Bureau's Fact Check Unit had labeled similar claims as 'misleading.' BJP spokesperson Ajay Alok urged Gandhi to 'stop being a propaganda tool' for Pakistan, emphasizing a pattern of behavior allegedly rooted in the Congress's historical stance.
