"Prime Minister Narendra Modi's shameful silence in the face of Israel's relentless and devastating assault on the people of Gaza is deeply disappointing. It is the height of moral cowardice.

BJP leader Ram Kadam on Tuesday defended the government's handling of Operation Sindoor and criticised the Congress for what he called a dismissive attitude towards the military operation. "The entire Opposition has the right to deliberate in the parliamentary session and also raise questions. They can give positive suggestions to the government. Does Operation Sindoor look like a tamasha to the Congress? The terrorists who snatched the sindoor from our mothers and sisters, our Army entered their homes and eliminated them.

It is clear that this government does not want to fight with Pakistan; they don't want to make 'Akhand Bharat' and not take back territory illegally occupied by Pakistan. This statement should be condemned," Raut said while speaking to reporters. #WATCH | Shiv Sena (UBT ) MP Sanjay Raut says, "Rajnath Singh yesterday said in Lok Sabha that our intention was not to take PoK.
