News Track Debate: BJP, Congress Clash Over Religious Names For Army Ops | India Today

On News Track, a debate unfolds over the naming of military operations such as ‘Operation Mahadev’ and ‘Operation Shiv Shakti’. Wing Commander Anwar Acharya of the Congress argues that giving operations religious names is a new trend that politicises the armed forces and fragments their secular culture. He stated, "This was never a culture of the armed forces to name operations in one particular religion… It is kind of, you know, politicizing the army, making them very, fragmented on the religious notes." In response, RP Singh of the BJP defends the names, linking them to India’s civilization and questioning the opposition’s objections. He points to the war cries of various army regiments that also have religious origins and accuses the Congress of viewing the issue through the prism of vote-bank politics. The programme explores the clash between the two parties on this sensitive issue. #militaryops #indianarmy #bjpvscongress #itwebvideos #operationmahadev #operationshivshakti #politics #debate #nationalsecurity #indianairforce #politicisingarmy #religiousdebate #rpsingh #anwaracharya
