Overview

  • Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan told reporters in Singapore that India lost jets on May 7 before adjusting tactics and striking 11 Pakistani airbases, including Nur Khan near Islamabad, with precision.
  • Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge accused the government of misleading the nation on the operation’s scope and called for a special parliamentary session alongside an independent defence preparedness review.
  • Opposition figures Jairam Ramesh and Pramod Tiwari criticized the decision to reveal key operational details abroad instead of briefing MPs in all-party meetings or Parliament.
  • Home Minister Amit Shah used Operation Sindoor as a campaign issue in West Bengal, accusing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of opposing the strikes to curry favour with the Muslim vote bank.
  • The BJP defends Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s military response as a show of strength but faces scrutiny over transparency and its timing ahead of the 2026 Bengal elections.
