BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday, accusing him of undermining India’s military success during the recent Operation Sindoor and “speaking the language of Pakistan.”
In a strongly worded post on social media platform X, Malviya slammed the LoP for failing to congratulate PM Modi on the "flawless" military operation that showcased India’s air superiority and strategic preparedness.
“It is not surprising that Rahul Gandhi is speaking the language of Pakistan and its benefactors. He hasn’t congratulated the Prime Minister on the flawless Operation Sindoor, which unmistakably showcases India’s dominance,” Malviya wrote.
The BJP leader went on to criticise Gandhi for repeatedly questioning the number of Indian jets lost during the operation—queries that Malviya said were already addressed by the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) in press conferences on the operation.
“Instead, he repeatedly asks how many jets we lost—a question that has already been addressed… Curiously, he hasn’t once inquired about how many Pakistani jets were shot down during the conflict, or how many were destroyed while parked in their hangars when Indian forces pounded Pakistani airbases,” Malviya added.
Taking his criticism further, Malviya sarcastically questioned Gandhi’s loyalties by saying, “What’s next for Rahul Gandhi? The Nishan-e-Pakistan?”
The Congress has not yet responded to Malviya’s statements.
Mir Jafar was a senior military commander under Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah of Bengal. He is infamous for betraying the Nawab by colluding with the British East India Company, which led to Siraj ud-Daulah’s defeat at the Battle of Plassey in 1757.
Malviya’s attack in relation to the Mir Jaffar is not by the first the saffron party on Congress. Earlier, BJP leader CR Kesavan had termed Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge “modern-day Mir Jaffar” when the latter had India’s questioned intelligence failure over the Pahalgam attack.
"He (Mallikarjun Kharge) has made treacherous statements similar to a modern-day Mir Jaffar. His toxic, baseless, unfounded rant against the Prime Minister is most deplorable and condemnable. Everybody demands an unconditional apology from him, and he should also come clean on what kind of inputs he received to make such outrageous remarks,” he had said.
