Hyderabad, May 7 (UNI) The BJP on Wednesday strongly condemned the remarks made by Professor Surapelli Sujatha, a member of the Telangana State Education Commission and faculty member at Satavahana University, regarding the Centre’s anti-terror operation "Operation Sindoor," calling her comments derogatory, irresponsible, and an insult to national sentiment.



In a release issued by BJP State Spokesperson and Media In-charge N.V. Subhash, the party expressed outrage over Professor Sujatha's alleged characterisation of the operation as “corpses, fragments, blood vermilion.”



The BJP said such comments, made in the context of a tragic terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 26 innocent individuals, not only trivialise the seriousness of the incident but also undermine the courage and sacrifices of the Indian armed forces.



Subhash stated that while the nation is united in pride over the success of "Operation Sindoor," such mockery by an individual holding a government-appointed position is both shocking and unacceptable.



He further added that allowing such a person to continue in official roles could mislead the public, particularly youth and students, and send the wrong message about patriotism and constitutional responsibility.



The BJP demanded that immediate action be taken against Professor Sujatha, including her suspension from Satavahana University, removal from the Telangana State Education Commission, and arrest for making statements that allegedly insult national security efforts. Subhash also called on Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to prove his commitment to the country by ensuring that individuals holding anti-national views are not encouraged or protected in positions of power.



He warned that if the Congress-led state government fails to act decisively, it risks alienating itself from the sentiments of patriotic citizens who stand firmly in support of the armed forces and national security initiatives.
