BJP's 'Saboot gang' jab at Congress leaders
The BJP hit out at the Congress for the remarks made by some of its leaders on
Operation Sindoor
, calling the Opposition party a 'Saboot gang' which is trying to demoralise the Indian forces, undermining India's position following the recent
Pahalgam attack
.
Launching a fresh attack on the Congress over Telangana CM Revanth Reddy's remarks on how many Rafale jets were downed during Op Sindoor, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said, "Yeh jo Pakistan ke Babbar hain, woh Hindustan ke Gabbar hain". Addressing a press conference on Friday, Patra wanted to know why Rahul Gandhi, Reddy and Jairam Ramesh were not asking Pakistan how many of their air bases were destroyed or terrorists were killed by India, but were more curious to know many Indian planes have been downed by Pakistan. "Congress, the saboot gang, is not happy at what India has been able to achieve," Patra said, adding that Ramesh has put terrorists and MPs in the same category. Patra mentioned that there are two factions in Congress now: One which supports Pakistan and the other which wants to raise their voice but cannot do it because of Gandhi. Patra acknowledged that Congress MPs were among the delegates visiting global capitals to present India's stance following the Pahalgam attack. While commending their efforts, he condemned Ramesh's comparison as irresponsible.

UK Support For All-Party Delegation Derails ISI's Disruption Attempt
Last Updated: During the event, groups of ISI-backed Khalistani protesters attempted to stage a demonstration at the Indian High Commission in London. An all-party delegation led by BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad, which arrived in London on Saturday to reiterate India's zero-tolerance stance on terrorism, received massive support from the members of the Indian diaspora. CNN-News18 learnt that over 1500 members of the diaspora rallied in support of the Indian delegation's mission to expose Pakistan-sponsored terror activities, in the backdrop of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people. The delegation, comprising political and diplomatic representatives, is visiting the UK to hold key meetings with local authorities and global stakeholders. Their focus is to highlight the atrocities committed by Pakistan-backed terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, particularly its involvement in the Pahalgam attack and the 26/11 Mumbai attacks — one of the deadliest terror strikes in India's history that also claimed the lives of several foreign nationals. According to top intelligence sources, the delegation aims to present credible evidence and context on Lashkar's operations, its Pakistan-based support network, and its continued threat to regional and global peace. 'The number of Indian people who reached the High Commission is really amazing. Usually on a Sunday, people don't come out of their homes, given the next working day. Around 1500 people have come, and the numbers are increasing every minute," Kuldeep Shekhawat, President of the Europe Chapter of Overseas Friends of India, told CNN-News18. ISI-Backed Disruption During the event, groups of ISI-backed Khalistani protesters attempted to stage a demonstration at the Indian High Commission in London. Denied permission at the premises, the protesters shifted to Trafalgar Square, waving Khalistani flags and banners. Top intelligence officials termed this move 'a desperate attempt by Pakistan's ISI" to deflect attention from its support to terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. 'This is a clear attempt by Pakistan to change the narrative. With international pressure mounting over its links to terror, the ISI is using proxy elements to disrupt diplomatic efforts and mislead public perception," said a senior intelligence source to CNN-News18. Despite these efforts, the Indian delegation's outreach has drawn strong support from the global Indian community, reflecting unified condemnation of terrorism and growing awareness about state-sponsored extremist networks operating from Pakistan. The all-party delegation, led by Prasad, also comprises MPs Daggubati Purandeswari, Priyanka Chaturvedi, Ghulam Ali Khatana, Amar Singh, Samik Bhattacharya, M Thambidurai and former Union minister of state MJ Akbar and Ambassador Pankaj Saran.

"Saheb (Sharad Pawar) has entrusted Supriya with this responsibility, and until she returns and speaks clearly on the matter... Supriya is currently abroad (with an all-party delegation for Operation Sindoor).
