Congress warns Modi govt against politicising ‘Operation Sindoor’

Kangra, May 8 (UNI) Sapan Sood, spokesperson of the District Kangra Congress Committee,
lauded the bravery and decisiveness of the Indian armed forces during 'Operation Sindoor', but cautioned the Centre against politicising the military operation for electoral gains.
Speaking to the media, Sood said the Indian Army had given a powerful message to the world by launching a decisive counter-attack on Pakistani soil in response to the brutal killing of 26 civilians in Pahalgam. “The Indian Army’s action was a befitting reply to barbarism and reflects the indomitable courage of our forces,” he said.
However, he expressed concern that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling BJP might attempt to use the operation as a political tool in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. “The firmness of the central government plays a role in enabling such actions, but no political party should take credit for the valour of our armed forces,” he said.
Drawing a historical comparison, Sood pointed out that the Congress-led governments in the past, including under former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, never politicised military victories. “Indira Gandhi gave birth to Bangladesh by splitting Pakistan into two in 1971, yet she never used that victory to serve the Congress party’s interests,” he added.
He also accused the BJP of exploiting national security issues in the past, citing the example of the 1999 Kargil War. “BJP leaders left no stone unturned in leveraging the Kargil War for electoral mileage. Now, they may try to repeat the same with Operation Sindoor,” Sood alleged.
Reiterating the Congress party’s unwavering support for the armed forces, he said, “Whether it was during previous wars or the recent Operation Sindoor, the Congress party has always stood shoulder-to-shoulder with our Army.”
He urged citizens to uphold loyalty to the nation and support the armed forces going beyond political lines.
