"He keeps raising questions on the armed forces", BJP's Rajyavardhan Rathore slams Rahul Gandhi
Rathore said, 'Sadly, he keeps raising questions on the armed forces... Just to come to power, he is harming the country by speaking the language of the enemies...'.
This statement comes after Rahul Gandhi's renewed criticism earlier this week of External Affairs Minister Jaishankar. The Congress leader questioned the minister's silence on the number of Indian Air Force aircraft lost during Operation Sindoor, insisting that the nation 'deserves the truth.'
Adding to his statement, the Rajasthan Sports Minister said that some members of the ruling party have even gone abroad and spoken about the country in a manner that is detrimental to its interests. He expressed concern that the government does not seem to understand the implications of its actions and words, which are being showcased by Pakistan.
Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey on Friday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of hypocrisy for questioning Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar. Dubey referenced a 1991 Indo-Pak military transparency pact signed during a Congress-backed government to highlight what he called Congress's longstanding alignment with a 'Pakistani vote bank.'
Praveen Khandelwal of the BJP has also criticised Rahul Gandhi on May 22, stating,' It is a difficult time for the country, yet the Congress leaders are constantly attacking and tweeting about armed forces'.
Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 as a retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. It targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), resulting in the deaths of over 100 terrorists. In response, Pakistan shelled border areas and carried out drone attacks, prompting India to conduct airstrikes on 11 Pakistani airbases. Both countries agreed to cease hostilities on May 10. (ANI)

Israeli Leaders Consider Long-Term Gaza Takeover, Says US Senator Lindsey Graham
US Senator Lindsey Graham has claimed that Israel is preparing to fully occupy Gaza, following a stalled peace process and failed negotiations with Hamas. Graham compared the prospective occupation to US control over Germany and Japan after World War II. He argued that no other solution would satisfy Israeli leadership, citing Israeli concerns about security and the ongoing conflict. Washington reportedly also doubts that negotiations can end the war with Hamas. The possibility of offering Hamas fighters safe passage in return for the release of Israeli hostages has been raised. Meanwhile, US officials accuse Hamas of not seeking a ceasefire. The US-backed truce plan, involving phased hostage and prisoner releases, has broken down due to differing demands. #GazaConflict #IsraelPalestine #LindseyGraham #MiddleEastNews #BreakingNews #CeasefireTalks #GazaOccupation #WarAndPeace Read More

Discussion on US President Donald Trump's claim of mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor will also be taken up today. The Rajya Sabha is scheduled to take up the discussion on the matter on Tuesday. 16-hour debate: Both sides have agreed to a marathon 16-hour debate in each House. According to sources, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will speak on the issue, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi likely to intervene. In addition, the ruling NDA is expected to field its members from the seven multi-party delegations that travelled to over 30 world capitals to present India's case following Operation Sindoor. Whether the Congress will allow Shashi Tharoor to speak on the matter remains uncertain, as he has been at odds with his party after praising the Modi government's handling of the situation while leading a delegation to the US and other countries.
