"When it comes to the nation, when it came to Operation Sindoor, Owaisi and I stood together": Nishikant Dubey in Lok Sabha

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey highlights cross-party unity with Asaduddin Owaisi on national security, recalls Operation Sindoor, and attacks Congress in Lok Sabha.

"We are like two streams of the same river... when it comes to the nation, when it came to Operation Sindoor, Owaisi and I stood together. - Nishikant Dubey"

New Delhi, March 11

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Tuesday took repeated digs at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during the debate on the opposition resolution for removal of Speaker Om Birla and said he and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi stood together on matters concerning national interest when they were part of all-party delegations to partner countries to highlight India's stance of zero-tolerance towards terrorism after Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor.

Dubey recalled a visit to Saudi Arabia and said he and Owaisi highlighted India's viewpoint.

"Sir, the pajama-kurta that I am wearing today was given to me by Owaisi sahab on Eid. Owaisi sahab does not try to make me wear a cap, and I do not try to put a tilak on him. Wearing a cap will not make me a Muslim, and applying a tilak will not make him a Hindu. We are like two streams of the same river. I am a staunch RSS man -- Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh...But when it comes to the nation, when it came to Operation Sindoor, Owaisi and I stood together. What Owaisi and I said about the country is most important," Dubey said.

"Owaisi and I said this together. Because when a river flows, it has two streams, but when that river finally meets the ocean -- like the Ganga Sagar -- it becomes one. That is how India's unity in diversity works. We are Indians first, and that is the message for which Owaisi and I went together," he added.

He also took potshots at Congress over the Sharm el-Sheikh joint statement with Pakistan during the UPA government and alleged that it sought to dilute India's position on cross-border terrorism.

"We are not such weak people. If our people are killed, we will respond," Dubey said.

India launched Operation Sindoor and targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. India also effectively hit back at subsequent Pakistani escalation and pounded its air bases.

The Modi government later sent seven all-party delegations to partner countries to highlight India's strong message of zero tolerance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

The analogy of two streams meeting the ocean is beautiful. It's a powerful message that our core identity is 'Indian' first. More such gestures of mutual respect between leaders can heal many divides.

While the sentiment is good, I wish this unity was shown on domestic issues that affect common people too—like inflation and unemployment. National security is paramount, but so is roti, kapda, makaan.

Operation Sindoor was a necessary and strong response. It's good to see MPs highlighting this bipartisan stance internationally. Sends a clear message that India won't tolerate attacks on its soil.

"We are not such weak people. If our people are killed, we will respond." This line says it all. The era of weak responses is over. This firm stance is what deters our adversaries. 💪

The personal touch of gifting a kurta-pajama on Eid is heartwarming. These small human stories matter. They show that political differences don't have to mean personal animosity. More of this, please!
