This is why Congress continues to shrink: JD(U) slams Kharge's remarks on Op Sindoor

JD(U) says Congress shrinks due to Kharge's remarks on Operation Sindoor and national security.

"It is the misfortune of the Congress party that Mallikarjun Kharge is its national president. - Neeraj Kumar"

New Delhi, June 2

Responding strongly to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's demand for proof of damage inflicted during Operation Sindoor, Janata Dal (United) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said it is due to such political posturing on national security issues that the party continues to shrink.

Kumar condemned Kharge's remarks, calling them unfortunate and politically motivated.

Speaking to IANS, Kumar said, "It is the misfortune of the Congress party that Mallikarjun Kharge is its national president. After the Pahalgam terror incident, our armed forces responded with unmatched courage and valour, striking terrorist hideouts inside Pakistan. This was a diplomatic victory for India as even our MPs, during their international visits, exposed Pakistan's terror-supporting policies before the global community," Neeraj Kumar said.

"However, Congress fails to recognise this success due to political jealousy. When it comes to terrorism, there should be no room for political disagreement. And it is precisely because of such irresponsible statements that Congress continues to shrink in terms of public support," he added.

Kharge had earlier demanded that the government convene a special Parliament session following remarks made by Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan in Singapore, where the General had categorically rejected Pakistan's allegations, stating they were "absolutely incorrect".

Kharge also called for an independent review of India's defence preparedness, similar to the post-Kargil review.

Asked about Union Minister Chirag Paswan's reported intention to contest the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, Kumar welcomed the move, saying it would strengthen the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the state.

"Chirag Paswan is a Union Cabinet Minister in Narendra Modi's government. His party is part of the NDA. He has publicly said that the elections in Bihar will be contested under the leadership of Nitish Kumar and that Kumar will remain the Chief Minister," said Kumar.

"If any leader from an NDA ally wants to contest, they will naturally fight from the seat allocated to their party. This will only further strengthen the NDA in Bihar," he added.

National security should never be politicized. Our armed forces deserve our full support, regardless of which party is in power. Kharge ji's demand for proof shows Congress is still stuck in old habits. 🙏

While I support our military actions, I don't think asking for transparency is wrong. Every government should be accountable, especially on sensitive matters like cross-border operations. A balanced approach is needed.

Congress needs to understand that questioning military ops publicly only weakens India's position internationally. Pakistan must be laughing seeing our opposition demand proof from our own government! Shameful.

The Bihar political drama continues... Nitish Kumar's flip-flops have made a mockery of state politics. Now Chirag Paswan wants to enter? This alliance looks strong on paper but is full of contradictions.

Operation Sindoor was a necessary response to terrorism. But can we please stop naming military ops after Hindu rituals? It creates unnecessary religious overtones to what should be purely national security matters.

The real issue is that Congress has no credible leadership left. Instead of constructive opposition, they keep making statements that alienate patriotic Indians. Time for complete overhaul or merger with other secular parties.
