Rahul Gandhi Says Govt Tied Air Force's Hands, Dares PM to Call Trump's Ceasefire a Lie
In a blistering attack during the Lok Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi accused the Modi government of lacking the political will and tying the hands of the Indian Air Force. He claimed that India's political leadership forbade the targeting of Pakistan's military infrastructure during the retaliation, leading to the loss of aircraft. Rahul challenged PM Modi to address Donald Trump's 'ceasefire announcement' and accused the Centre of declaring premature victory while the operation was still underway. He likened today's leadership with Indira Gandhi's boldness in 1971 and slammed what he called the 'madness' of equating every terror attack with war.
