BJP leader Baijayant Jay Panda took aim at the Congress on Monday, alleging that the party was preventing its own member, Shashi Tharoor, from speaking in the Lok Sabha. The debate centered around Operation Sindoor, India's robust response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
During the discussion, Panda accused past Congress governments of compromising India's interests by opting for cooperation rather than retaliation against Pakistan. Tharoor, known for his oratory skills, reportedly declined Congress's offer to speak, raising questions about his alignment with the party after he endorsed the government's actions.
Meanwhile, Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda criticized India's diplomatic approach, urging for defense modernization and transparency in ceasefire terms with Pakistan. Hooda also questioned the government's relations with the US, citing Trump's claims of mediating peace talks.
