BJP flays Kharge, defends Modi's leadership in Op Sindoor

Bengaluru, May 13 (UNI) Reacting to the recent criticism by Karnataka minister Priyank Kharge over the Centre's announcement of a pause to military operations, Karnataka BJP President Vijayendra Yediyurappa on Tuesday accused the Congress of undermining India's strategic victory and military success, while also defending Prime Minister Narendra Modi's firm leadership in the matter.
Kharge had called the 'ceasefire' decision post-operation concerning, questioning who authorised it and demanding a special session of Parliament to explain the move. He also criticised the involvement of external powers, particularly the US, in pushing for the 'ceasefire', and accused the Modi government of lacking transparency.
In response, Vijayendra strongly rebuked Kharge’s comments, stating that such statements, alongside the Congress party's repeated undermining of India's military actions, only served to embolden Pakistan's narrative against India.
