Mahadangal: BJP targets Congress over 1991 peace-time agreement with Pakistan | ABP NEWS

On ABP News’ show Mahadangal, the political heat surrounding Operation Sindoor refuses to settle as BJP and opposition parties lock horns over India's Pakistan policy. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey stirred controversy by targeting the 1991 Indo-Pak agreement that mandated sharing information on military exercises during peacetime. Though the pact was initiated when Chandrashekhar was Prime Minister, BJP claims its implementation was sanctioned under the Congress regime. This comes as a counterattack amid sustained criticism from Rahul Gandhi and the opposition over India’s foreign policy. Today, Rahul Gandhi again questioned the government’s handling of terrorism and foreign diplomacy, alleging weakness and misplaced trust in Pakistan. BJP retaliated, accusing the Congress of weakening national security historically, especially during the 1990s when militancy surged in Kashmir and Kashmiri Pandits were forced to flee. The debate also questioned why the 1991 pact wasn’t scrapped during NDA rule, if it was flawed. While Congress defended the agreement as a peace-time safeguard, BJP portrayed it as a betrayal given Pakistan’s repeated proxy wars. Accusations, emotional outbursts, and historical blame dominated the discussion, with leaders demanding accountability across decades of India’s Pakistan policy.
