Coimbatore: BJP leader and former governor of Telangana and Puducherry Tamilisai Soundararajan expressed dissatisfaction over the DMK general council's failure to pass a resolution thanking the Indian armed forces for conducting
Operation Sindoor
.
Speaking to reporters at the Coimbatore International Airport on Sunday, she said, "Our armed forces risked their lives to carry out Operation Sindoor. A resolution could have been passed to express gratitude to them."
She pointed out that even though DMK MP Kanimozhi received international attention for speaking about Operation Sindoor, the party did not acknowledge the armed forces in its resolutions.
"If Kanimozhi is being recognised for highlighting the operation on global platforms, then a resolution thanking the forces should certainly have been passed," she said.
Tamilisai urged political parties not to politicise matters of national security, stating that "everything else is already being politicised."
She also criticised the DMK's resolution condemning the railway department for allegedly neglecting Tamil Nadu.
She countered that Tamil Nadu received the highest number of Vande Bharat trains in the country. Accusing the DMK of being more focused on criticism than progress, she said the general council meeting seemed to have been convened mainly for the sake of issuing condemnations. "It would have been better if resolutions were passed for the development of Tamil Nadu," she said.
Referring to actor and MNM leader Kamal Haasan, she remarked that although he started his political party in opposition to the DMK, he is now aligned with them. She called this an act of opportunism.
