This new spat between BJP and Congress regarding Operation Sindoor has actually added more political heat to the mix. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya attacked Rahul Gandhi sharply by posting a doctored photo superimposing the Congress leader's face over the face of Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir.
The post read, "What's next for Rahul Gandhi? The Nishan-e-Pakistan? strongly accuses him of being too sympathetic to Pakistan, an important provocation in today's political environment.".
The BJP is fiercely defending the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s handling of Operation Sindoor, highlighting the military success and calling the Congress’s criticism a strategic betrayal. Malviya slammed Rahul Gandhi for not praising the operation and instead focusing on Indian losses, which BJP claims were addressed by military briefings.
Congress, predictably, has strongly objected to the image and personal insults. Opposition has been blaming the government for a security failure by "alerting" Pakistan before the operation, terming it as an unpardonable blunder. BJP's reaction, including tweets by Assam minister Ashok Singhal, describes Congress as unpatriotic, implying that their national security jargon doesn't get converted into support at the time of need.
Malviya's mention of Rahul Gandhi as the "new age Mir Jafar" — an age-old symbol of treachery — and cartoons only adds to the political hyperbole, perhaps feeding more controversy and debate.
Would you want me to simplify the political situation here or give some background information on Operation Sindoor and India-Pakistan relations today?
