Mahadangal: BJP Hits Out at Rahul Gandhi, Compares Him to Mir Jafar Over Operation Sindoor Remarks

A massive political storm has erupted after BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi, comparing him to historical traitor Mir Jafar and accusing him of echoing Pakistan's narrative. The controversy centers around Gandhi’s pointed questions following the success of Operation Sindoor, an Indian military strike on terror camps. BJP alleges that instead of congratulating the armed forces, Gandhi asked how many Indian jets were lost—mirroring the kind of questions raised by Pakistan.Malviya shared two explosive posts on X (formerly Twitter), juxtaposing Gandhi’s image with Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir and accusing the Congress leader of aligning with “Pakistan’s language and agenda.” He questioned if Rahul Gandhi’s next accolade would be Pakistan’s highest civilian award, Nishan-e-Pakistan.The Congress retaliated strongly, calling the comparison shameful and citing earlier instances when Indian leaders received the Nishan-e-Pakistan award. Meanwhile, Gandhi’s remarks have drawn mixed reactions, with critics accusing him of weakening India’s global stance and supporters defending his right to question the government.As the BJP frames the debate as one between national security and political opportunism, the controversy deepens ahead of the elections.
