Congress MP Pramod Tiwari supports Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Operation Sindoor, slams EAM Jaishankar
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 20 (ANI): Congress MP Pramod Tiwari on Tuesday supported Rahul Gandhi's remark accusing External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar of informing Pakistan before the strikes on terror infrastructure under Operation Sindoor. Pramod Tiwari, blaming Jaishankar, said that if our Armed Forces have not got the desired results, it is due to EAM. 'I fully support Rahul Gandhi's statement. I salute the bravery and valour of our Armed Forces. Big terrorists like Hafiz (Hafiz Saeed) were not killed because the EAM admitted that India had informed Pakistan before striking. Today, if our Armed Forces have not got the desired results, it is due to EAM who said Pakistan was informed prior,' Pramod Tiwari said. Earlier, Rahul Gandhi in his post on X, alleged wrongdoing by the government, stating: 'Informing Pakistan at the start of our attack was a crime. EAM has publicly admitted that the GOI did it. Who authorised it? How many aircraft did our air force lose as a result?' On Monday, Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi again questioned External Affairs Minister Jaishankar, accusing him of being silent on how many aircraft the Indian Air Force lost during Operation Sindoor and said 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,' Rahul Gandhi posted on X. BJP have launched an attack on the Congress MP accusing him of speaking the 'language of Pakistan' after his remarks. BJP spokesperson CR Kesavan alleged that Rahul Gandhi distrusted the Indian Armed Forces. He further said that the nation deserves a more 'patriotic' Leader of Opposition than the latter.'Rahul Gandhi has been doubting the nation, the government, and also distrusting the Indian armed forces. Now, he is sounding like the propaganda in chief of Pakistan. Let alone the Leader of Opposition, our nation deserves a more responsible and patriotic parliamentarian than Rahul Gandhi. Pakistan is now parading Rahul Gandhi as a poster boy for Pakistan, and they are peddling Rahul Gandhi's tweets to spin and fabricate an inimical narrative to India and our Indian armed forces,' CR Kesavan said.

"BJP never comes out of its dirty acts, politics": Congress leader Pramod Tiwari attacks BJP over all-party delegation nominations
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 19 (ANI): Congress leader Pramod Tiwari on Monday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party over all-party delegation nominations and said that BJP never comes out of its dirty acts and politics. 'India is a democratic Parliamentary system, to form an all-party delegation, names are sought from the parties and those names given by parties are selected. BJP sought 4 names and we gave you changed those names and selected people as your never comes out of its dirty acts, politics on everything. This was the issue of the nation,' Tiwari said. Earlier today, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticised the government for omitting three of the names recommended by the party for the all-party delegation. 'This delegation is going for damage control. We have been saying that we need to stay united, and we are standing with our armed forces like a rock. We have said that Operation Sindoor is a historic operation, but PM Modi does not speak with the LoP or the Congress President. They ask us to give names. When we gave 4 names, they picked only one of them and added names on their own. What type of politics is this?' he added. The all-party delegations will project India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all forms and manifestations. They would carry forth to the world the country's strong message of zero tolerance against terrorism. According to Congress, the party had submitted four names to the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs by May 16, but the final list released late on May 17 included only one of the suggested names. The list includes MPs from multiple parties, divided into seven groups of 8-9 members. A leader has been assigned for each group, who will lead the delegation at a global level. This came after India's decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.
