BJP to launch campaign to address Operation Sindoor's achievements, objectives
The BJP is preparing to launch a comprehensive campaign to inform the public about the achievements and objectives of Operation Sindoor, sources said. This strategic move aims to ensure clear communication regarding the operation and its outcomes. The campaign will be executed at multiple levels, covering state capitals, districts, and divisions, sources added. In response to growing concerns raised by opposition parties, the BJP plans to hold its first press conference to directly address the issue. Party leaders will present detailed information on the operation, highlighting the significant accomplishments of India during the mission. The press conference will serve as a platform for clarifying the objectives and the overall success of the operation.advertisementThe preparations for this communication strategy were discussed in a meeting held yesterday at BJP President JP Nadda's residence. Key leaders in attendance included Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnav. Several BJP general secretaries also took part in the discussion, emphasising the importance of effective communication.
Ashwini Vaishnav also met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the party's approach to the communication strategy, ensuring alignment across the leadership. The BJP is set to move forward with this plan to strengthen public understanding of Operation Sindoor, with a focus on its objectives and accomplishments.BJP leader Sambit Patra held a press conference today, highlighting the achievements of the armed forces and summing up the developments that have taken place since the beginning of Operation Sindoor. Sambit Patra confirmed that India, in response to Pakistan's unprovoked aggression, struck terror camps and also struck 11 Pakistani airbases. advertisementHe, however, claimed that the armed forces had five main goals and, among them, was the goal to ensure that no civilians were harmed during India's retaliatory strike. "After the Pahalgam terror attack, the PM had promised that we will avenge the death of 26 people. The PM said that the revenge would be beyond the enemy's imagination, and so it was. He had also said 'mitti mein milayenge' and 'ghus ke maarenge'; that is what we did. PM Modi's decision and the bravery of our Armed Forces ensured terror sites were reduced to rubble...From 22nd April till 7th May, there was an atmosphere of tension in the country; there was a demand for immediate action. Despite surgical strikes in the past, Pakistan could not guess when it would be struck," he said. India and Pakistan reached a ceasefire understanding on Saturday and a fresh set of talks between Pakistan and India's DGMO is underway at the time of writing this article.

'Should China-Nehru link be investigated?': BJP MP Nishikant Dubey slams Rahul Gandhi; asks if 1962 war was 'imposed'
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey (left) and Rahul Gandhi/ File photos NEW DELHI: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Monday intensified his criticism of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi , calling for a probe into the alleged historic links between the Nehru-Gandhi family and China. His demand stemmed from what he described as "revelations" found in declassified documents from the 1961 Belgrade Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). In a sharply worded X post shared on Monday, Dubey took aim at India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru , questioning his foreign policy choices during the formative years of the Cold War. 'Rahul Baba, do you know that at China's behest, your family's patriarch Nehru ji created the new gimmick of non-aligned countries? Look at the member countries of the first conference in Belgrade in 1961. After isolating India from both Russia and America, did any country come to India's defence during or after the 1962 war with China?' Dubey asked. — nishikant_dubey (@nishikant_dubey) The BJP MP went on to allege that the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), championed by Nehru, eventually "benefited" China rather than serving India's strategic interests. Citing the 26th declaration adopted at the Belgrade Summit, Dubey argued that the text revealed Nehru's alignment with Chinese interests. 'Tibet to China, Panchsheel for China, and after making China a permanent member of the United Nations, this conference ordered the UN to recognise China as the sole representative state. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo By siding with China, did your family impose the 1962 war on India or not?' he said. He followed up with a pointed query directed at Rahul Gandhi: 'Should the relationship between China and the Nehru family be investigated?' The 1961 Belgrade Summit was the inaugural meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement — a coalition of states aiming to stay independent from both the Western and Soviet power blocs. Nehru was a key architect in shaping the principles and objectives of the movement. This is not the first time Dubey has targeted the Congress leadership. He previously accused the Nehru-Gandhi family of compromising India's interests in relation to Pakistan, particularly citing the Indus Waters Treaty. He had also flagged India's financial commitments to Pakistan under the treaty, claiming they were the result of Congress-era policies that weakened India diplomatically.

11 years of Modi government: Congress hits out at BJP; calls its regime at Centre 'dictatorship'
NEW DELHI: As Bharatiya Janata Party completed 11 years at the Centre, Congress took the opportunity to recount the 'shortcomings' of the central government. Leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge accused the BJP and the RSS of undermining constitutional institutions termed the saffron party's regime a "dictatorship". "The Modi government has wasted the last 11 years in rubbing the ink of dictatorship on every page of the Constitution!" Kharge said. "BJP-RSS weakened every constitutional institution and attacked their autonomy. Whether it was stealing public opinion and toppling governments through the back door or forcibly imposing one-party dictatorship. During this period, the rights of the states were ignored and the federal structure was weakened," he added. He further accused the Centre of "weakening the democracy, economy and social fabric." "There are continuous efforts to spread hatred, threats and fear in the society. The exploitation of Dalits, tribals, backward, minority and weaker sections has increased continuously. The conspiracy to deprive them of reservation and equal rights continues. The unending violence in Manipur is the biggest proof of the administrative failure of the BJP," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo "BJP-RSS made the country's GDP growth rate habituated to 5-6%, which used to be 8% on average during UPA. Instead of the promise of 2 crore jobs every year, crores of jobs were taken away from the youth. Due to inflation, public savings were the lowest in 50 years and economic inequality was the highest in 100 years," he added. He also addressed the demonetisation, GST and the Covid lockdown situation which hit the unorganised sector directly. "Demonetisation, wrong GST, unplanned lock-down and by hammering the unorganised sector, the future of crores of people was ruined. Make in India, Startup India, Stand up India, Digital India, Namami Gange, 100 SMART Cities all failed. Railways were ruined. Only the ribbons of the infrastructure built by Congress-UPA were cut," he said. 'Why is PM Modi avoiding presser?' Questioning the central government's decision to send BJP president JP Nadda to address a press conference on the completion of 11 years of Modi regime, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, "why is the Prime Minister still avoiding it? Is he still taking time to memorise the questions and answers? Or are such 'favourable' faces being searched who will ask questions, but in a completely obedient posture? Or is Bharat Mandapam not fully ready yet?" "Yesterday, we had given an open challenge to the Prime Minister to hold an unscripted and unprescribed Q&A press conference for the first time on the occasion of his completion of 11 years in power. But today BJP President JP Nadda has come forward, who has been sent to talk to the press at 12 noon, so that the 'achievements' of these 11 years can be trumpeted," he said.
