Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], May 16 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader N Ramchander Rao on Friday slammed the Congress for allegedly questioning the “capabilities and action” of the armed forces, saying that it was “unfortunate” and that the opposition party must learn to respect it.
Taking a dig at Congress, he said that the opposition party has started its “old game” to suspect the army’s capabilities, like it did with the surgical strikes carried out earlier. The BJP leader said that it was unfortunate that Congress was “bent upon” blaming the central government and the army.
“Congress party has started its old game and is suspecting the army’s capability and its action on terrorist camps in Pakistan and PoK (Pakistan-occupied Kashmir),” Rao told ANI.
“In spite of all these things being shown on international TV and other places, Congress leaders still doubt and call it a show off. It is very unfortunate that the country is fighting terror, and some political parties are bent upon blaming the government and army for their actions and capabilities. Congress should learn to respect the armed forces. They suspected the army’s capabilities earlier, also after Uri and Balakot surgical strikes and wanted proof,” he added.
He further stated that the world witnessed the precision strikes carried out by India against nine terror targets, which left the bodies of terrorists “mutilated”.
“The world has seen how precision strikes were made on nine terror targets, which destroyed 100s of militants, their dead bodies mutilated. The processions and funerals of the terrorists have been taken out, where Pakistan Army personnel joined the same,” Rao said.
This comes after Congress MLA Kothur Manjunath raised doubts over Operation Sindoor, initiated by India in response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack. His “nothing was done, only show-off” remarks have stirred a major political controversy, with criticism from the ruling party.
The Congress has been demanding an all-party meeting and a special parliamentary session to be convened to discuss the chain of events leading to the “ceasefire” announced by US President Donald Trump between India and Pakistan. (ANI)
