The Congress’ attempt to target the Centre over Operation Sindoor seemed to backfire in Parliament as Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp counterattack on Tuesday. In his response to the debate, the Prime Minister not only recalled the Opposition’s historical baggage but also took a series of veiled digs at internal rifts within the party. During his address, PM Modi made pointed remarks about the internal tensions in the Congress, saying, “some are stopped from speaking in Parliament” and “some object if you praise India” — widely seen as references to Shashi Tharoor’s recent disagreements with certain sections of his own party.
