This is like putting acid (on the wounds) of the 26 people killed by terrorists\u2026&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The Prime Minister further attacked the opposition saying that the Congress was acting as a mouthpiece for anti-India narratives.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cOn one hand, India is moving ahead at a fast pace towards self-reliance, but Congress is becoming dependent on Pakistan for issues. Unfortunately, Congress is importing issues from Pakistan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">\u201cCongress and its allies have unfortunately become spokespersons of Pakistani propaganda,&#8221; he added, accusing the party of undermining the morale of Indian armed forces.<\/p>\n<h3>Praniti Shinde Triggers Political Storm<\/h3>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Earlier on Monday, Solapur Congress MP Praniti Shinde triggered a political storm by referring to the military operation as a \u201ctamasha&#8221; staged by the government for media attention.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">\u201cOperation Sindoor was nothing but a \u2018tamasha\u2019 of the government in the media. No one is telling us what was achieved in this Operation. How many terrorists were caught? How many fighter jets did we lose? Who is responsible and whose mistake is this, should be answered by the government\u2026&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">The word \u2018tamasha\u2019 was later expunged from the official record.<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">In response, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh dismissed the Opposition\u2019s line of questioning as misplaced. He argued that inquiries about potential aircraft losses or other operational setbacks did not reflect the sentiments of the Indian people. \u201cIf you must ask a question, ask whether India destroyed terrorist bases; the answer is yes. Ask whether any of our brave soldiers were harmed; the answer is no. Ask whether the operation was a success; the answer is, absolutely,&#8221; Singh said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Untitled-design-2025-06-421898aac7df12606d3395094d8b8840.png?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/shobhit-gupta-28018.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Shobhit Gupta<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shobhit Gupta is a sub-editor at News18.com and covers India and International news.
