NEW DELHI: BJP MP and party spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi strongly criticized Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday for his “surrender” remarks regarding Operation Sindoor, during a press conference in New Delhi. Trivedi condemned Gandhi’s statements comparing the armed forces’ briefing on Operation Sindoor to surrender, calling his mentality sick and dangerous.Trivedi highlighted the contrast between opposition MPs, including Congress members, who were part of an all-party delegation representing India’s stance internationally, and Gandhi’s controversial statements.“On one side, all-party delegation, which consists MPs from the opposition too, including Congress, which were sent by India to different countries to put forward India’s stance, are coming back. On another side, 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 stated.The BJP spokesperson emphasized the gravity of Gandhi’s comments about the military operation. “The matter is not just about his lack of maturity, but it is serious. How Rahul Gandhi compared our armed forces’ valour and army officers’ brief on Operation Sindoor’s success with surrender, shows how sick and dangerous his mentality has become.”Trivedi used a Hindi saying to criticize Gandhi’s behavior. “There is a saying in Hindi- ‘Naya mullah zyada pyaaj khaata hai.’ But here ‘gair mullah iss kadar pyaaj khaane mein laga hai’, that he doesn’t realise how badly he is insulting this country’s self-respect and the army’s valour.”The BJP MP pointed out that even Pakistan’s leadership hasn’t made such statements. “Till now, Congress leaders were making headlines in Pakistani media, their statements were being quoted in 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. None of them said that India surrendered.”Trivedi questioned Gandhi’s motives. “I want to ask Rahul Gandhi- Does he want to get one step ahead of these people? 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?”The criticism came in response to Gandhi’s remarks at a Congress workers’ convention in Bhopal. Gandhi had alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi yielded to pressure from former US President Donald Trump during Operation Sindoor.During his address in Bhopal, Gandhi had stated: “Now, I understand RSS-BJP well. They run away out of fear if slight pressure is put on them. When Trump called Modiji- Modiji kya kar rahe ho, Narender-Surrender and with ‘ji hazooor’, Narenderji followed Trump. In the 1971 war, the Seventh Fleet (which came from the US), India Gandhi said I will do whatever I have to do. This is the difference. This is their character; all of them are like this. Since the Independence movement, they have had the habit of writing letters of surrender.”
