It signifies that when an individual faces a state of destruction, their cause is already destroyed,” he added.In the meantime, in response, Congress chief Pawan Khera hit again, questioning Rijiju’s intentions behind the cryptic submit.“Why are you sending a message to your individual boss by way of Twitter, brother?” Khera replied to Rijiju’s submit.This comes after Rahul questioned exterior affairs minister S Jaishankar over his remarks on Operation Sindoor, asking what number of Indian plane had been misplaced throughout the operation.Quoting a Jaishankar video, Rahul wrote, “Informing Pakistan initially of our assault was against the law. EAM has publicly admitted that the Authorities of India did it.”“Who authorised it? What number of plane did our Air Pressure lose in consequence?” he requested.“EAM Jaishankar’s silence isn’t simply telling — it’s damning. So I’ll ask once more: What number of Indian plane did we lose as a result of Pakistan knew?” Gandhi posted on X, whereas resharing an earlier submit of his personal.“This wasn’t a lapse. It was against the law. And the nation deserves the reality,” he added.On Might 17, Rahul had shared an undated video of Jaishankar, during which the minister is heard saying that “India had warned Pakistan earlier than launching strikes” on terror infrastructure.Following Rahul’s remarks, the BJP slammed the Congress chief, calling his statements “sinister.”“Rahul Gandhi’s daftness isn’t merely incidental — it’s sinister. He’s talking the language of Pakistan,” BJP’s Amit Malviya stated in a submit on X.The ministry of exterior affairs refuted Rahul’s declare, calling it a “misrepresentation of info.”The MEA clarified that the federal government had warned Pakistan throughout the “early section after Operation Sindoor’s graduation,” not earlier than it started. It famous that Jaishankar had stated, “We had warned Pakistan initially, which is clearly the early section after Op Sindoor’s graduation.”“That is being falsely represented as a warning issued earlier than the graduation. This utter misrepresentation of info is being known as out,” the ministry added.Operation Sindoor was launched on Might 7, concentrating on terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the lethal Pahalgam terror assault on April 22.
