'Self-Styled Supreme Leader': BJP Tears Into Rahul Gandhi Over 'PM Modi Surrendered' Remark
BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi slammed Rahul Gandhi for alleging that PM Modi 'surrendered' after a call from Donald Trump, and accused Gandhi of insulting the Indian Army. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday ripped into the Congress over Rahul Gandhi's 'Prime Minister Narendra Modi surrendered" remark, saying that the Congress leader lacks the seriousness and maturity that the post requires. Addressing a press briefing, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi also referred to Rahul Gandhi as 'self-proclaimed, self-styled, supreme leader" of the Congress party. 'By making extremely cheap, low-level statements, the self-proclaimed, self-styled, supreme leader, the leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, is telling the world that even after becoming the LoP, he lacks the seriousness and maturity that the post requires," Trivedi said. 'How Rahul Gandhi compared our armed forces' valour and Army officers' brief on the success of 'Operation Sindoor' with surrender, shows how sick and dangerous his mentality has become," he added. The BJP MP further accused Rahul Gandhi of insulting the country's self-respect, and said, 'There's a saying in Hindi – 'Naya mullah zyada pyaaz khaata hai', but here, 'gair mullah iss kadar pyaaz khaane mein laga hai', that he does not even realise how badly he is insulting India's self-respect and the Indian Army's valour." 'Till now, Congress leaders were making headlines in the Pakistani media, their statements were being quoted in the Pakistani Parliament. But for the first time, Rahul Gandhi has said something which even the army chief of Pakistan has not said, nor has any terrorist organisation of Pakistan. Even Masood Azhar or Hafiz Saeed have not said such a thing," the BJP MP said. 'None of them said that India surrendered. I want to ask Rahul Gandhi, does he want to get one step ahead of these people?" Trivedi asked. 'Till now, he was giving cover fire to the people of Pakistan, the Pakistani army and terrorist organisations. Is he trying to become their leader now?" he asked. Also taking a dig at the party and Rahul Gandhi over poll losses, Sudhanshu Trivedi said, 'The level of intelligence and wisdom of someone who sees receiving less than three points in their third attempt in the election result as a success, and sees being elected as the Prime Minister for the third time as a defeat is obvious." 'I want to ask the Congress party, has Rahul Gandhi insulted the Army by using the word surrender or not? He has used such a word which even Pakistan's Army, terrorist organisations, or UN-designated terrorists Masood Azhar or Hafiz Saeed have not used," the BJP MP said. Rahul Gandhi stirred a controversy on Tuesday after he alleged Prime Minister Narendra Modi surrendered after a call from US President Donald Trump during the India-Pakistan military conflict. Addressing a party convention in Bhopal, he said the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, didn't budge in the 1971 war despite the US sending its Seventh Fleet. 'A call came from Trump and Narendra ji immediately surrendered – history is a witness, this is the character of BJP-RSS, they always bow down," Rahul stated after launching the Congress's 'Sangthan Srijan Abhiyan' in Bhopal. Rahul said that India split Pakistan in 1971 despite America's threat. 'Congress's Babbar Sher and lionesses fight with superpowers; they never bowed down," he added. He said no phone call came during the 1971 war. Even though the 7th fleet, weapons, and an aircraft carrier arrived, Indira Gandhi didn't surrender and said she would do whatever she wanted.

‘PoK was surrendered…': Sudhanshu Trivedi's fiery response to Rahul Gandhi
On Lok Sabha LoP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's statement, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi says, 'By making objectionable and cheap comments about PM Narendra Modi, he has once again proved that he does not have the ability and maturity to handle a serious post like the Leader of the Opposition. Rahul Gandhi has once again shown his lack of wisdom and low standards by making such statements. I want to tell Rahul Gandhi that this is the same party and the same organisation that has made the invincible Congress irrelevant in many states...I want to tell Rahul Gandhi what surrender is. You had said on 15 July 2011 that terrorism cannot be controlled. This was a surrender to terrorism. After the 26/11 attack, your government did not allow the army to take action. This is called surrender. In 1971, we had 93,000 soldiers. Even after that, PoK was surrendered in Indira ji's government... In 1948, Pandit Nehru surrendered to the United Nations and surrendered half of Kashmir and at the time of independence, one-third of the country was surrendered to Jinnah and the Muslim League...'

Murshidabad fact-finding panel's report has exposed TMC govt's anti-Hindu brutality: BJP
NEW DELHI: BJP on Wednesday said the report of the fact-finding committee set up by Calcutta HC on the over the Waqf bill was the most damning indictment yet of the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC govt. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "The report... has exposed the of the TMC govt in its full ugly form," BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said. Though Trivedi kept his focus on TMC, the Rajya Sabha MP did not spare others in the opposition, as well as peace activists. "Those who question, 'why war with Pakistan' have not uttered a single word about the atrocities committed against Hindus in Murshidabad. Not a single word has been said about the brutal killing of a father and son - Hargobind Das and Chandan Das. Yet, these very same individuals expressed sympathy for Pakistan following Operation Sindoor. " Amit Malviya, head of BJP's IT cell who also looks after the organisation in Bengal, was scathing on CM Banerjee over the committee's findings about the anti-Hindu violence having been masterminded by TMC functionaries and supported by police inaction. "The report squarely blames her party (TMC) and its elected representatives, including the local councillor and MLA, for abetting the violence and doing nothing to control the situation. Their acts of commission and omission emboldened police and civil administration to remain passive as Hindu homes burned," he said on X. The communal unrest broke out on April 8 in areas like Dhulian, Suti and Samserganj, with the violence escalating over protests against the newly-promulgated waqf Act. Central armed police forces were deployed only on the night of April 12, following the HC's orders. Union minister and Bengal BJP president Sukanta Majumdar said the committee's findings pointed to the involvement of local councillor Mehboob Alam, MLAs and other TMC netas. "Despite his role as a principal conspirator, police failed to act against him during the violence," he said.

SIT report on Murshidabad violence has exposed TMC's ‘anti-Hindu brutality', says BJP
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday (May 21, 2025) said the report of a court-constituted Special Investigation Team (SIT) on the Murshidabad violence last month has exposed the Trinamool Congress's (TMC) 'anti-Hindu brutality.' At a press conference, BJP MP and spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said the SIT collected details about the incidents of violence that took place between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday, April 11, 2025. 'From its observations, the mask of the Trinamool Congress-INDI alliance and the so-called self-appointed champions of secularism has been completely removed,' he said. 'Firstly, it is surprising that none of those who used to question the need for war with Pakistan, stating that action should be taken only against terrorists — whereas our government acted only against terrorists — objected to the violence against the Hindus in Murshidabad. No one uttered a single word on the death of father-son Hargovind Das and Chandan Das. The same people suddenly started showing sympathy towards Pakistan after 'Operation Sindoor',' said Mr. Trivedi. He claimed the SIT findings showed that the Trinamool Congress had attempted to create an illusion by propagating that outsiders were involved in the incidents. 'Some of their MPs had suggested that people from other States, especially Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, were involved. It is totally unfair, but in this finding, the name of a Trinamool Congress leader and MLA has also come up, and it has been said in the report that on April 11, all the attacks were carried out... under the instructions of local councillor Mehboob Alam, and the police and the administration did nothing,' the BJP leader said. Addressing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Mr. Trivedi said Mr. Alam seemed to be close to her party. 'The second thing that came up was that 113 houses were damaged and people had to even flee to Malda, while some leaders tried to claim that nothing significant happened.... then it was said that people want a permanent Border Security Force (BSF) camp and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) for their own protection,' he said, stating that people had lost faith in the West Bengal Police. He said the report highlighted findings that the police did not respond to distress calls from villagers. He also claimed that the assailants, who targeted Hindus in a planned manner, had their faces masked. 'If Hindus were selectively killed in Pahalgam, then in Murshidabad too, an attempt was made to selectively target Hindu houses and is now clear that the West Bengal Government cannot claim that there was no violence,' said Mr. Trivedi, asking if Ms. Banerjee would take action against her leaders and also apologise for the 'insulting and mocking' remarks made by her party leaders against the victims.
