Mahadangal: Operation Sindoor Sparks Political Storm Amid National Pride Over Military Triumph
Operation Sindoor marked a historic moment of valor as Indian forces struck deep into Pakistani territory, dismantling terror camps and destroying over a dozen air bases. The nation hailed the bravery and precision of its soldiers, who avenged years of cross-border terrorism. As India celebrates this military success, political tensions are escalating back home. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar revealed that prior to the operation, India had communicated to Pakistan that only terrorist infrastructure would be targeted, advising the Pakistani military to stay out of the conflict. He emphasized that the message was intended to avoid escalation, but Pakistan chose to ignore it. This disclosure has stirred a fierce political debate. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has questioned the logic behind informing Pakistan in advance, calling it a "criminal mistake." He asked on whose authority such information was shared and whether it compromised the mission’s impact. Gandhi's critics argue that his stance echoes Pakistani rhetoric and undermines the Indian military’s strategy. The country stands divided between celebrating a military achievement and scrutinizing the diplomatic transparency that preceded it. As India's leadership prepares to take the story of Operation Sindoor to the world, domestic politics continue to shadow its triumph.
