The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched a blistering attack on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of lying in Parliament and tarnishing India’s global image. The party’s counter came after Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Upendra Dwivedi stated that the armed forces had a “free hand” during Operation Sindoor. Gandhi, while addressing the House during the Operation Sindoor debate, had alleged that the Centre instructed the Indian Air Force not to target Pakistan’s air defence system, effectively “tying their hands behind their backs.”
