AAP Leader Sanjay Singh Criticizes Operation Sindoor, Claims Government Fell Short of Objectives
Sanjay Singh on Operation Sindoor: One month after the commencement of Operation Sindoor, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) senior leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh questioned the central government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, raising several key issues. He asserted that the operation was not initiated solely for political gain and should not be used for election campaigning. He stated that it is now imperative for the Prime Minister to address all questions related to the operation before the nation.
The Real Objective of Operation Sindoor?
Singh clarified that Operation Sindoor's objective was not merely limited military action, but aimed at gaining control over PoK (Pakistan-occupied Kashmir) and completely eliminating terrorist bases. He alleged that the terrorists responsible for the Pulwama attack have neither been killed nor apprehended. He maintained that the operation will only be considered successful upon achieving its declared goals.
A Missed Historical Opportunity Due to Trump's Pressure?
Singh also claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a golden opportunity to seize PoK and remove Balochistan from Pakistan's map. However, he asserted that this opportunity was lost due to pressure from former US President Donald Trump. He cited Trump's repeated claims of using trade pressure to compel India to halt hostilities, questioning whether India compromised its objectives by succumbing to diplomatic pressure.
Pulwama Attack and Delayed Action
Singh's main accusation centers on the lack of concrete action following the Pulwama attack. He stated that the desecration suffered by our sisters is not only heartbreaking but a direct assault on the nation's dignity. The absence of any reports of terrorist arrests or encounters, he added, has led to public dissatisfaction.
Prime Minister Should Answer in Parliament
Singh demanded that the Prime Minister address the questions raised in Parliament, particularly concerning the CDS's (Chief of Defence Staff) inquiries about aircraft crashes and operational lapses. He emphasized that such answers cannot be provided by any party leader; only the Prime Minister bears the responsibility for responding.
