It took 24 civilian deaths, three weeks of obstruction, and global recognition of India’s surgical precision for the Congress-led Opposition to finally dismount their moral high horse and agree to a debate on Operation Sindoor. But what unfolded in the Lok Sabha on Monday was nothing short of a textbook display of political hypocrisy, intellectual dishonesty, and deliberate national sabotage. Despite the sombre backdrop of the Pahalgam massacre, where terrorists from Lashkar-e-Taiba’s proxy wing, The Resistance Front (TRF), executed 26 unarmed civilians—after asking their religion—the Congress saw not a moment to unite, but an opportunity to score points and belittle India’s resolve. The day began with the Opposition attempting once again to stall proceedings, prompting a visibly agitated Speaker Om Birla to remind them that the nation was watching. He wasn’t exaggerating. This was the moment India wanted clarity—not from the government, which had already put facts on record—but from an Opposition that seems to have turned fact-checking into fiction writing. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, in a composed and clinical opening statement, laid out a solid case: Operation Sindoor was a targeted military response, not against Pakistani civilians, but against terror sanctuaries operated by Lashkar and Jaish. The strikes on launchpads and airfields neutralized over 100 terrorists, many linked directly to attacks in Pulwama, Udhampur, Gurdaspur, and Doda.
But instead of responding to facts, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi embarked on a theatrical rant. Unable to counter the government’s evidence, he indulged in a farcical monologue on “internal security failures” and “foreign policy isolation,” conveniently ignoring that just last week, the United States designated TRF as a Foreign Terrorist Organization—a historic move that acknowledged Pakistan’s role in sponsoring cross-border terror. The US State Department explicitly cited TRF’s role in the Pahalgam massacre, thus validating India’s dossier. Yet Gogoi had no comment. Perhaps the scriptwriters in Rahul Gandhi’s echo chamber forgot to brief him. Criticizing the government is a democratic right. Parroting Pakistani talking points inside Indian Parliament is a betrayal. Then came Deepender Hooda, loyalist extraordinaire, who hit a new low. His ludicrous claim that Prime Minister Modi failed to act on Rahul Gandhi’s “advice” would be laughable—if it wasn’t so dangerous. Since when did India’s national security become a tutoring session from a man who once stood clueless about Chinese intrusions, even during his Ladakh visit? And let’s not forget Rahul Gandhi’s track record: signing an MoU with the Chinese Communist Party behind closed doors. If Congress has nothing to hide, let them release that MoU. The nation deserves to know.
BJP MP Baijayant ‘Jay’ Panda shredded the Congress’s long legacy of betrayal—from rejecting UN membership for India when offered by the US, to internationalizing Kashmir by dragging it to the UN under Jawaharlal Nehru, to denying military clearance for reclaiming PoK in 1948. These aren’t partisan jibes. These are historical facts that haunt the Congress’s legacy. As if the day wasn’t humiliating enough for the Congress, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar stood up and delivered a masterclass in diplomacy and statesmanship. He dismantled the claim that India was “diplomatically isolated,” pointing out that 190 out of 193 UN members either directly supported or tacitly endorsed India’s counter-terror strikes. Only Pakistan and China opposed—a detail the Congress conveniently skipped. Jaishankar also aimed at Donald Trump’s bizarre claim that he “intervened” to prevent a war. The Minister made it crystal clear: India neither seeks approval nor bends before delusional superpower egos. India acts in its national interest—with precision, purpose, and pride. What became painfully clear on Day One was this: Congress and its ecosystem of pseudo-liberals aren’t upset that India acted. They’re upset that Modi succeeded. Their pathological hatred for one man blinds them to the national good. For them, every Indian military success becomes an opportunity to manufacture doubt; every terror attack a pretext to target Delhi instead of Rawalpindi. But India watched. And India will remember. Because while our soldiers fight enemies across the LoC, we continue to battle a more insidious enemy within—those who defend the indefensible, question the credible, and chip away at India’s morale with every lie. Let’s not sugarcoat it: This debate isn’t about transparency. It’s about Congress’s inability to stomach a strong India. Their hollow attacks collapsed under the weight of facts. On Day One of the Operation Sindoor debate, one thing stood exposed: The Congress has no facts, no shame, and no loyalty—only lies, lies, and more lies.
