The country now has a \u201cSindoor spirit&#8221;, which we saw when our representatives went to tell the world about India\u2019s side. I congratulate each one of them. Although the big leaders of Congress are unhappy with this as well. Some have even been stopped from speaking in the House.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WATCH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#WATCH<\/a> | Operation Sindoor | PM says, \u201cWhat is sad and surprising is that those who consider themselves tall leaders of Congress are rattled by the fact that why India\u2019s perspective was presented before the world.

There are lots of people who are enthusiastic to talk to the press. I am not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Tharoor, a three-time MP from Kerala\u2019s Thiruvanthapuram, has been vocal about his support for the Modi government on Operation Sindoor. He led a delegation of MPs to different countries, explaining India\u2019s stance on terrorism and Operation Sindoor. However, this did not go well with Congress leadership, and he did not figure in the list of Congress speakers for debate in the Lok Sabha.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">PM Modi then went on a send a message with poetic lines.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cDal hit mein humare mann mile na mile, desh hit mein humare mann milne chahiye. Karo charcha aur itni karo, ki dushaman dehsat se dehal uthe, rahe dhyan bas itna hi maan sindoor aur sena ka prashno mein bhi atal rahe. Humla maa bharti pe hua agar toh prachand prahaar karna hoga, dushman jaha bhi baitha ho hume bharat ke liye hi jeena hoga. (We may not see eye to eye when it comes to party interests, but for the good of the nation, our hearts must come together. Engage in debate- debate with such intensity that it shakes the enemy. But keep one thing sacred: amid all questions, let your respect for the soldier\u2019s sacrifice and a mother\u2019s sindoor remain unwavering. Should Mother India come under attack, we must strike with unrelenting force. No matter where the enemy lurks, our lives must be devoted to the service of Bharat,&#8221; he 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\/2023\/11\/saurabh-verma-2023-11-9cda0350bc65f9e8c8593b8549c03725.jpg?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\/saurabh-verma-22693.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Saurabh Verma<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Saurabh Verma covers general, national and international day-to-day news for News18.com as a Senior Sub-editor.
