Lashkar-e-Pakistan Congress: BJP Hits Back At Congress Over Gayab Jibe On PM Modi
Congress, in a thinly veiled attempt, allegedly targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a 'Gayab' jibe by posting a picture on its official social media handle. It did not go down well with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as its leaders condemned the act.
Congress posted this picture after PM Modi was absent from the all-party meeting to address the Pahalgam terror attack of April 22, in which 26 people were killed and several others were injured.
Congress in a post on the social media platform X posted a picture of a kurta pajama with the word 'Gayab' (Missing) and wrote, "At the time of 'responsibility' - Missing", in Hindi.

Congress's Defence After 'Gayab' Post
Congress MP Jairam Ramesh said that PM Modi was not present at the all-party meeting and stated that Congress does not have any 'political agenda'.
Talking to ANI, he said, "PM Modi was not present at the all-party meeting. We demanded on 22nd April that the all-party meeting should be held on this issue... PM Modi should participate in the discussions in Parliament and tell us what happened and how this terrorist attack took place. There is no political agenda."
The Congress's 'Gayab' post was also shared by former Pakistan minister Fawad Ahmed Hussain Chaudhry on X.

BJP's Reply To 'Gayab' Jibe
After the post, the BJP did not hold back and launched an attack against the grand old party.
Replying to Congress's 'Gayab' jibe, the saffron party in a post on X said, "Congress flaunts a headless kurta to echo the extremist 'Sar Tan Se Juda' slogan, exposing its continuous slide into Muslim League 2.0 — divisive, desperate, and directionless."
It added, "Let Pakistan and its fellow-travellers in @INCIndia threaten all they wish; New India will neither bend nor break. Terror will be met with bullets, not biryani. This is the era of decisive leadership."

BJP leader Nishikant Dubey also did not hold back and posted on X, asking about Congress's relation with 'Ghazwa-al-Hind'.
"Congress has been trying to separate the head and body of the Honorable Prime Minister Modi for years. Now @INCIndia party, tell us what is your relation with the terrorist organization Ghazwa al Hind? Is the same person tweeting on both?" he wrote.
सर तन से जुदा माननीय प्रधानमंत्री मोदी जी का कॉग्रेस बर्षों से करवाना चाहती है । अब @INCIndia पार्टी यह बताओ कि आतंकी संगठन गजवा अल हिंद के साथ आपका क्या संबंध है? दोनों के ट्वीट क्या एक ही आदमी कर रहा है? pic.twitter.com/5S5hznp7Y9 — Dr Nishikant Dubey (@nishikant_dubey) April 29, 2025
BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia alleged that the Congress party is signalling Pakistan that they stand with them in this terror attack and said that this is a 'sinister and poisonous' design trying to weaken India's integrity.
As per ANI, Bhatia said, "There is a national political party that stays among us, but if we call them Lashkar-e-Pakistan Congress, it won't be wrong. This image of PM Narendra Modi has been tweeted by the social media handle of Congress. A strong message has been given to Pakistan that in India, the supporters of Mir Jafar are present here..."
"'Sar tan se juda' has become the ideology of Lashkar-e-Pakistan Congress today...Such posts are done on the instructions of Rahul Gandhi, which makes the country ashamed. It is an attempt of Lashkar-e-Pakistan Congress to weaken India at such a sensitive time," he added.
BJP Spokesperson RP Singh also posted on X and said, "Friends of Pakistan," in Hindi, sharing a picture.

On the other hand, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has written to the PM requesting that a special session of both Houses of Parliament be convened to demonstrate a collective will to deal with the situation of the Pahalgam attack.

India suffered 3 setbacks from US: Cong blames govt's foreign policy
Jairam Ramesh said the US' recent statements were both a "challenge and a warning" and required serious thinking Press Trust of India New Delhi The Congress on Thursday claimed India has suffered three "huge diplomatic setbacks" from the US which is constantly hyphenating India and Pakistan and that the Modi government's foreign policy has "failed" as it is driven by domestic political considerations. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the US' recent statements were both a "challenge and a warning" and required serious thinking "when the PM is only interested in playing divisive politics". He also said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should leave aside his "stubbornness" to call an all-party meeting and a special session of Parliament. "Yesterday, Indian foreign policy and diplomacy received three huge, undeniable setbacks. The General of the US Central Command gives a statement that Pakistan is a phenomenal partner in counter-terrorism. What is phenomenal? On May 2, 2011, Osama Bin Laden was found in Abbottabad and you are calling that country a phenomenal partner," Ramesh told PTI. So, the first "setback" is the US general giving a "clean chit" to Pakistan, he said. US Army General Michael Kurilla, Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM), has said Pakistan is "in an active counterterrorism fight right now and has been a phenomenal partner in the counterterrorism world". The United States has to have a relationship with Pakistan and with India, and noted that it cannot be a "binary switch" where Washington cannot have ties with Islamabad if it has relations with New Delhi, Kurilla said during a testimony before the US House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. Ramesh further said, "Failed Marshal Asim Munir, who gave such inflammatory, incendiary and provocative statements, talked about the two-nation theory, Hindus and Muslims, and there is a direct relation between his statement and what happened in Pahalgam on April 22. Same Asim Munir gets a special invitation to go to America on US Army Day on June 14, which is incomprehensible." The third setback is that the US state department spokesperson again repeated that it was US President Donald Trump who was responsible for bringing about a de-escalation between India and Pakistan, the Congress leader said. He said again the US has hyphenated India and Pakistan while Prime Minister Modi and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar are completely silent on it. "He (Modi) meets members of delegations but does not have time for an all-party meeting to meet leaders of political parties. Our democracy is based on political parties not on individuals," Ramesh said. Leaders of opposition parties have written to the PM to call a special session of Parliament but the government has rejected the request and instead announced the monsoon session from July 21. "Is he (PM Modi) going to allow a special debate on our challenges with China and Pakistan, and now our challenge with the US. We thought that we were having an extended honeymoon with the US but it has delivered three huge setbacks to Indian diplomacy yesterday," Ramesh said. This is a "failure" of the government of India, of the PM, of his External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, of his Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and of his drum beaters, Ramesh said. "I am shocked that these setbacks have come two days after the prime minister has met the delegation of MPs," he told PTI. Ramesh accused the PM of playing politics by picking and choosing individuals. "We are saying call an all-party meeting, an all-party meeting where you don't determine who will be there like you did in picking delegations," the Congress leader said. He alleged that the government's diplomacy is "totally domestic oriented". "Whatever we do abroad -- how does it play domestically? It is for domestic consumption. All observers are saying that these delegations were for domestic consumption," he said. Ramesh claimed that the foreign policy of the Modi government is being dictated by domestic political considerations. Earlier, in a post in Hindi on X, Ramesh asserted that decades of diplomatic progress cannot be allowed to be weakened so easily. "It is reported that Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir has been invited to the event organised in Washington DC on the occasion of US Army Day (14 June). This news is a big setback for India from a diplomatic and strategic point of view," Ramesh said. "This is the same person who used provocative and inciting language just before the Pahalgam terror attack - the question arises what is America's intention," the Congress general secretary said. Recently, the head of the US Central Command also stated that Pakistan is a "great partner" of America in the fight against terrorism, Ramesh said. "The Modi government is saying that Operation Sindoor is still going on. In such a situation, the Pakistani army chief's participation as a guest in the US Army Day is definitely a matter of serious concern," he said. Ramesh said the Trump administration is constantly making statements which can only be interpreted to mean that it is "hyphenating" India and Pakistan. "The prime minister is welcoming the delegations that returned after informing the entire world, including the US, about Pakistan's role in supporting terrorism, and at the same time, such news is coming from Washington DC makes India's diplomatic position even more uncomfortable," Ramesh said. "The prime minister should now leave aside his stubbornness and concern for prestige and call an all-party meeting and a special session of Parliament, so that the nation can clearly express its collective will and a concrete roadmap can be presented to the country," he said. The statements from the US come days after an all-party Indian parliamentary delegation visited the country to convey India's strong resolve to combat terrorism emanating from Pakistan in the wake of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives.

Congress's Nana Patole likens Op Sindoor to children's computer game, BJP responds
Former Maharashtra Congress chief and MLA Nana Patole has likened Operation Sindoor to "computer games played by children," citing US President Donald Trump's repeated claims of stopping the war."US President Trump said multiple times that he threatened both nations (India and Pakistan) that they (US) would stop trade with them, so they should call a ceasefire. Operation Sindoor was stopped with his signal. It means that this was a game that was played just like computer games played by children," he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. advertisementHighlighting that Pakistan-backed terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack are still at large, Patole asked, "Why did the PM not speak about the terrorists who wiped off the 'sindoor' of our sisters? That is a question for the people of the country." "Why did the PM not speak about the terrorists who wiped off the 'sindoor' of our sisters? That is a question for the people of the country," he added.'HAVE SOME SHAME': BJP REACTSPatole's remarks stirred a huge row, with the BJP claiming that they highlighted that the "Congress is hand in glove with Pakistan".Calling it an insult to the Operation, Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule took to X and wrote, 'Congress leader Nana Patole has once again proved that Congress is hand in glove with Pakistan by making an objectionable statement that 'Operation Sindoor is a computer game'."advertisementMaharashtra BJP MLA Chitra Wagh lashed out at the senior Congress leader, pointing out that his real agenda was to spread hatred "in the name of love." "Have some shame, Nana... While mocking Operation Sindoor by calling it a children's computer game, did you not remember the sindoor (vermilion) wiped off the foreheads of our mothers and sisters killed in the Pahalgam attack?," she asked."Defaming Prime Minister Modi and spreading hate in the name of love -- that's your real agenda. Time and again, you prove the saying true: "The hand of Congress is with terrorism," she further said.'Nana, Operation Sindoor is not a computer game, but it is a brave and courageous action against the terrorist bases of Pakistan. It is a burning tale of valour that will instil fear in the hearts of traitors!," he Reel
