In the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam attack, most opposition parties extended their support to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Central government. However, soon after India’s Operation Sindoor – the retaliatory strikes on the terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) – the Congress began to target PM Narendra Modi.
In his several recent speeches, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi used the slogan ‘Narender Surrender’ to allege that PM Modi “surrendered” after a call from US President Donald Trump during the recent India-Pakistan military conflict. Even as Trump on multiple occasions claimed that he had a role in the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, the Centre has maintained that the operation was paused on the request of Pakistan and no third party was involved in the process.
Gandhi’s remarksmeanwhile, sparked a massive backlash, with the BJP accusing him of speaking Pakistan’s language and insulting the Army.
