Wardha (Maharashtra) [India], July 28 : Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday lashed out at the Opposition over Operation Sindoor discussion, alleging that they want a discussion because the truth will come out and their false narrative will collapse.
"The opposition doesn't want to talk about Operation Sindoor because they know that if a discussion takes place, the truth will come out--how our brave soldiers and armed forces have globally demonstrated their capabilities and compelled Pakistan to kneel. Their false narrative will collapse. There is a war tactic called 'shoot and scoot'--fire and run. That's exactly what they do--they fire lies and then run away. They don't have the courage to debate," the Maharashtra CM said.
He further criticised Congress leader and former Union Minister P Chidambaram, who had earlier questioned the government on proof of Pakistan's involvement in the Pahalgam terror attack, which led to the launch of Operation Sindoor.
"I'm not surprised at all. These are the same people who earlier raised questions about the air strike and the surgical strike. Due to such tendencies, the public has now questioned them in return. The problem is their mindset, and nothing can be done about such a mentality," he added.
Earlier, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh targeted the opposition in the Lok Sabha, accusing them of prioritising the wrong questions during the opening debate on Operation Sindoor.
Replying to the questions raised by the Opposition during the Parliament monsoon session about possible Indian aircraft losses, Singh said that their questions did not represent the national sentiments.
Operation Sindoor was carried out in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people on April 22, this year. India targeted nine terror hubs across Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir and Pakistan and neutralised over 100 terrorists. After the May 7 operations, India and Pakistan reached a cessation of hostilities understanding on May 10.
