Assam CM slams Rahul Gandhi for 'surrender Modi' jibe

Guwahati, June 6 (UNI) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, while slamming Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for his ‘surrender Modi’ jibe, took his followers through a "reality check" as to which party and family surrendered India’s interest and territory.
“Rahul Gandhi has the audacity to mock the Prime Minister despite the massive success of OperationSindoor . Let’s jog his memory as to which party and family has surrendered India’s interest and territory, and backstabbed the people with their treachery,” said the Assam Chief Minister on his X handle.
“1947–48 – PoK Betrayal: It was Nehru who rushed to the United Nations during the Kashmir conflict, halted our advancing Army, and gifted away what we now call Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. A military victory sacrificed at the altar of global appeasement,” Sarma said, adding that in 1962, 38,000 sq km of Indian territory handed over without firing a bullet. “Nehru’s only response when China threatened Assam? 'My heart goes out to the people of Assam',” Sarma added.
“Was this statesmanship or surrender? Assam was nearly cut off. The entire Northeast was abandoned to its fate,” he said.
Adding further to his list, the Chief Minister said in 1972, Indira Gandhi had 93,000 Pakistani soldiers in custody after the 1971 war. “But instead of using that leverage to recover PoK or secure reparations, she released them — empty-handed. A historic military win squandered at the negotiating table,” he said.
“1995: Bowing to the US Despite full readiness, the Congress government deferred India’s nuclear tests under American pressure. It took Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 1998 to finally make India a declared nuclear power,” he said.
“2008: Mumbai attacks, no Retaliation. After 166 innocent Indians were butchered by Pakistan-backed terrorists in 26/11, what did Congress do? No response. No justice. No accountability. Just silence,” he said, adding that 2009 - Sharm-El- Sheikh Surrender : Can we forget how UPA under PM Manmohan Singh played into the hands of ISI by agreeing to their propaganda on Baluchistan?"
He said that in 2012, Congress "almost conspired" to hand over the strategic regions of Sir Creek to Pakistan , the plan had to be called off only after then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi exposed their plan.
“And today the same Congress opposes surgical strikes, questions the Balakot airstrike, slanders the armed forces, spreads enemy propaganda inside India. and dares to insult a strong, decisive Prime Minister”.
The CM said Congress must stop projecting its own history of cowardice onto the shoulders of a leader who refuses to bend. "India remembers. India has risen. And India won’t surrender again,” said Sarma.
