New Delhi [India], July 30 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party leaders on Wednesday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Parliament address for “answering all questions,” and giving a “befitting reply” to anyone trying to mislead the people on Operation Sindoor.
PM Modi on Tuesday had affirmed that no world leader has asked India to stop the Operation Sindoor, against Pakistan, amid US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims of brokering a ceasefire deal between India and Pakistan.
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Jagdambika Pal told ANI outside Parliament, “The Prime Minister, while participating in the discussion on Operation Sindoor yesterday, not only sent a message to the entire world but especially to Pakistan. All questions were answered. He clearly stated that no one in the world called for a ceasefire.”
Similarly, Lok Sabha MP and BJP leader Kangana Ranaut also hailed the PM’s address for giving a “befitting reply” to anyone who was misleading people on Operation Sindoor.
“He gave a befitting reply to all those who were trying to mislead people. They gave an open challenge to PM Modi to say that there was no intervention of any other country, and PM Modi said it in the House that no world leader has intervened between India and Pakistan for the ceasefire,” Ranaut told reporters.
PM Modi said it was the Pakistani side that urged India to stop Operation Sindoor pleading that they cannot suffer any longer. He said, during the talk with the Vice President of America, India made its stand clear that if Pakistan attacks, India will respond by launching a big attack.
Responding to the special discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, the Prime Minister said, India destroyed the terror camps situated deep inside Pakistan during the Operation. He said, India gave a befitting reply to Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian Armed Forces took revenge for 22nd terror attack in just 22 minutes.
He stressed that India showed to the world that it will not bow down to the nuclear blackmail of Pakistan. He said, India has made it clear through Operation Sindoor that if there is a terrorist attack on India, it will respond in its own way. He emphasised that India will not see terrorist-supporting governments and terror masterminds as two separate entities.
The Prime Minister accused the Congress for not supporting the country on Operation Sindoor. He said, India got the support of all the countries during Operation Sindoor but did not support the valour of the Armed Forces.
The Prime Minister said, the Congress party has never had a clear vision for the country’s national security and weak governance under Congress-led governments resulted in the loss of many civilian lives in terrorist attacks.
Meanwhile, Opposition leaders hit back by saying that US President Donald Trump is again attacking India’s interests by claiming to broker a ceasefire deal between India and Pakistan.
Just before the Rajya Sabha was convening, Congress leader KC Venugopal mentioned that Trump has again claimed credit for the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan, and urged the Centre to respond to it.
“Yesterday, we asked whether Trump lied or not. Prime Minister indirectly addressed that issue. He didn’t say anything directly. After his speech, this situation arose again. Trump is again attacking our interests; the government should respond to this,” Venugopal told ANI.
Similarly, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Arwind Sawant also called for the “lies” of PM Modi being exposed, as he said the PM was only distracting from the real issue.
“How many lies our Prime Minister tells, you should find out right now. Yesterday, he spoke to the Vice President. The entire opposition is talking about Donald Trump as President. Why do you talk about the Vice President? There is a style of distracting. They understand and do not give a straight answer. And that’s the matter, then he said again today. So I have washed away yesterday’s discussion in one sentence that I have stopped your war. Now speak,” Sawant told ANI.
Earlier on Tuesday, PM Modi said that no leader in the world told India to stop Operation Sindoor, carried out to retaliate against the Pahalgam terror attack.
“No leader in the world told India to stop its operation. On the night of 9th May, the Vice President of America tried to talk to me. He tried for an hour, but I was in a meeting with my army, so I could not pick up his call. Later, I called him back. The Vice President of America told me on the phone that Pakistan is going to launch a big attack. My answer was that if Pakistan has this intention, it will cost them a lot. If Pakistan attacks, we will respond by launching a big attack. This was my answer,” PM Modi said.
US President Donald Trump claimed credit for brokering a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, saying he was instrumental in resolving the conflict. Trump also hinted at imposing a 20-25% tariff on India ahead of the August 1 deadline
During a press interaction aboard the Air Force One on Tuesday (local time), Trump said, “Look, India, they’re my friends and he’s (PM Modi) my friend and you know they ended the war with Pakistan and by request and I was great and Pakistan did also. We did a lot of great settlements.”
He also hinted at a 20-25 per cent tariff on New Delhi, ahead of the August 1 deadline. (ANI)
