"In such a time of crisis, no one should...": JD(U)'s KC Tyagi refutes Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Op Sindoor
New Delhi [India], May 24 (ANI): Janata Dal (United) leader KC Tyagi on Saturday rebutted Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Operation Sindoor, saying that no one should make such 'objectionable statements' at the time of crisis. Speaking with ANI, Tyagi said, 'In such a time of crisis, no one should make such objectionable and unnecessary statements.' Earlier on Friday, criticising the BJP-led NDA government, Rahul Gandhi said India's foreign policy had 'collapsed.' In a post on X, Gandhi raised three questions to the central government. 'Will JJ explain why India has been hyphenated with Pakistan? Why didn't a single country back us in condemning Pakistan? Who asked Trump to 'mediate' between India & Pakistan?' the Lok Sabha LoP said. Reposting a video of External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar's interview with a media outlet, he said, 'India's foreign policy has collapsed.' Earlier, Gandhi questioned External Affairs Minister Jaishankar, accusing him of being silent about how many aircraft the Indian Air Force lost during Operation Sindoor and saying that the nation 'deserves the truth.' 'EAM Jaishankar's silence isn't just telling -- it's damning. So I'll ask again: How many Indian aircraft did we lose because Pakistan knew? This wasn't a lapse. It was a crime. And the nation deserves the truth,' Gandhi posted on X. Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 civilians. The Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, eliminating over 100 terrorists linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen. Further, KC Tyagi reacted to the NITI Aayog meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which focused on the vision of a developed India by 2047. 'The Prime Minister held a meeting on the concept of a developed India of 2047. Our Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was also present,' the JD(U) leader said. Chaired by PM Modi, the 10th meeting of the NITI Aayog Governing Council will bring together Chief Ministers and Lieutenant Governors of States and Union Territories, Union Ministers, and the Vice Chairman, Members and the CEO of NITI Aayog to deliberate on the roadmap for achieving 'Viksit Rajya, Viksit Bharat @2047' - a developed India by 2047.

We have demanded from the IMF that funds should not be given to a country which shelters, protects and produces terror,' he said. Meanwhile, the Indian Army during the intervening night of May 8 and May 9 successfully repelled and decisively responded to multiple drone attacks and ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the western border and the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army stated. Taking to X on Friday, the Additional Directorate General of Public Information (ADG PI) stated that the drone attacks were 'effectively neutralised' and the ceasefire violations were appropriately responded to. The ADG PI also noted that the successful retaliation by the Indian Armed Forces was also under Operation Sindoor, which was launched in the early hours of Wednesday, during which the Armed Forces neutralised nine terror camps in Pakistan and the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Moreover, it has been learnt that Indian armed forces struck deep into Pakistani territory while responding to the missile strikes, destroying a Chinese-supplied HQ-99 air defence unit in Lahore and damaging key radar infrastructure. The sources informed that the Narendra Modi government didn't materialise the level of preparedness overnight, but has been upgrading India's air defence architecture since 2014.

Moreover, India signed a deal worth Rs 2.5 billion dollars with Israel for the deployment of Barak-8 Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missiles (MR-SAM), which remain active in frontline bases like Bhatinda, the sources said, adding that the centre also focused on developing Indigenous Akash missile batteries and DRDO-developed counter-drone systems. The Operation Sindoor also marked the debut of loitering munitions - suicidal drones, ordered in 2021 and manufactured in India.
