NEW DELHI: Amid the continuing political slugfest between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party after Rahul Gandhi questioned the federal government over Operation Sindoor, Union minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday took a veiled jab on the grand previous celebration and its high brass with a poetic reference from Ramdhari Singh Dinkar’s Rashmirathi.In a social media submit on X, Rijiju quoted Rashmirathi and stated, “Jab naash manuj par aata hai, pehle vivek mar jata hai” (When doom descends upon a person, his motive is the primary to perish)“A famous line from a poem by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar. It means that when a person faces a state of destruction, their reason is already destroyed,” he added.Meanwhile, in response, Congress chief Pawan Khera hit again, questioning Rijiju’s intentions behind the cryptic submit.“Why are you sending a message to your own boss through 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 in the course of the operation.Quoting a Jaishankar video, Rahul wrote, “Informing Pakistan at the start of our attack was a crime. EAM has publicly admitted that the Government of India did it.”“Who authorised it? How many aircraft did our Air Force lose as a result?” he requested.“EAM Jaishankar’s silence isn’t just telling — it’s damning. So I’ll ask again: How many Indian aircraft did we lose because Pakistan knew?” Gandhi posted on X, whereas resharing an earlier submit of his personal.“This wasn’t a lapse. It was a crime. And the nation deserves the truth,” he added.On May 17, Rahul had shared an undated video of Jaishankar, by which the minister is heard saying that “India had warned Pakistan before launching strikes” on terror infrastructure.Following Rahul’s remarks, the BJP slammed the Congress chief, calling his statements “sinister.”“Rahul Gandhi’s daftness is not merely incidental — it is sinister. He is speaking 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 facts.”The MEA clarified that the federal government had warned Pakistan in the course of the “early phase after Operation Sindoor’s commencement,” not earlier than it started. It famous that Jaishankar had stated, “We had warned Pakistan at the start, which is clearly the early phase after Op Sindoor’s commencement.”“This is being falsely represented as a warning issued before the commencement. This utter misrepresentation of facts is being called out,” the ministry added.Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, concentrating on terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the lethal Pahalgam terror assault on April 22.
