New Delhi: The Congress has lashed out at Indian Home Minister Amit Shah, demanding accountability for the lapses that led to the Pahalgam incident and calling on the government to disclose how many Indian jets were downed during Operation Sindoor.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, made these remarks while participating in a special debate on the Pahalgam incident and Operation Sindoor. He also criticized the government over former US President Donald Trump’s repeated claim\u2014made \u201c26 times\u201d\u2014that he used trade pressure to broker a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. \u201cBefore whom did Prime Minister Narendra Modi surrender?\u201d Gogoi questioned.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are still saying that Operation Sindoor is incomplete and that Pakistan could do this again\u2014then how is it a success?\u201d Gogoi asked. \u201cThey themselves are saying the intention was not war\u2014why was it not so? They say it wasn\u2019t meant to capture territory\u2014why was it not so?\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
Referring to Trump\u2019s claim that \u201cfive to six jets\u201d were shot down, Gogoi said, \u201cOne jet is worth crores of rupees. That is why we want the Defence Minister to come clean. The country has the courage to hear the truth. He must answer: how many fighter jets were downed?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis information, this truth, is not only for Indian citizens. It is vital for our soldiers as well. They are also being misled,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
Gogoi pointed out that India has only 35 Rafale jets, and if some have been lost, it is a major blow.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho will take responsibility, the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir? It is the Home Minister who must be held accountable. You cannot hide behind the LG,\u201d Gogoi declared. \u201cThis government is so cowardly and weak that it even blamed tour operators for the Pahalgam attack.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
