Operation Sindoor: A Government 'Tamasha' or Tactical Triumph?
Amidst political uproar in Parliament, Congress MP Praniti Shinde criticized Operation Sindoor as a 'media tamasha', seeking concrete outcomes. In response, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh defended the operation's success against terrorism, dismissing opposition queries on aircraft losses as misrepresentative. The operation followed a deadly attack in Pahalgam, neutralizing numerous threats.

In a heated parliamentary session, Congress MP Praniti Shinde lambasted the government's handling of Operation Sindoor, labeling it a 'tamasha' or spectacle, dominated by media theatrics over substance. Shinde demanded accountability, questioning the number of terrorists captured, any potential losses of fighter jets, and called for the government to provide clear explanations.
Operation Sindoor became a contentious topic during discussions in the Lok Sabha, as Defence Minister Rajnath Singh struck back at opposition leaders, accusing them of misaligning their priorities. Singh critiqued these figures for focusing on potential Indian aircraft losses rather than supporting the national interest, asserting that their concerns misrepresented national sentiments.
Endorsing the operations launched on May 7 in retaliation to the brutal Pahalgam terror attack, Singh labeled Operation Sindoor a definitive triumph. He reported over a hundred terrorists neutralized across nine Pakistani-occupied-territories and emphasized that no Indian soldiers were harmed under the operation's conduct. The operation culminated in a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan by May 10.
