BJP’s Kiren Rijiju Accuses Rahul Gandhi of ‘Hurting India’s Reputation’ With Operation Sindoor Remarks

Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has accused Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, of ‘lowering his stature’ and ‘damaging “India’s high reputation” over his remarks regarding the Indian Air Force and Operation Sindoor in the Parliament.

Rahul Gandhi had said in the Parliament that the hands of the Indian Air Force were “tied” by the government during Operation Sindoor as they were told not to attack Pakistan’s air defence systems.

Refuting this claim, the Indian Air Force (IAF) chief Amar Preet Singh said on Saturday that the government had put no restrictions on them during Operation Sindoor.
