Prithiviraj Chavan Refuses to Apologise on Op Sindoor Comment – ‘Constitution Gives Me Right to Question’
Prithviraj Chavan refuses to apologize for claiming India was defeated on day one of Operation Sindoor, prompting BJP demands for action and a fair inquiry call by Congress.
- Prithviraj Chavan, speaking in Pune, remained defiant on Wednesday, refusing to apologise after saying India was defeated on day one of Operation Sindoor.
- Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 after the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people, with Indian forces destroying nine terrorist bases and repelling Pakistan's retaliation.
- At a Pune event, Chavan described a half-hour aerial engagement on the 7th, said Indian aircraft were shot down and grounded, and questioned the need for 12 lakh soldiers as wars shift to air.
- CR Kesavan, BJP National Spokesperson, demanded action and an apology, saying the comments `sounded like those of a third-grade Pakistani spokesperson`, while Brij Lal, BJP MP, accused Congress of being pro‑Pakistan and warned the public will 'teach Congress a lesson'.
- Congress moved to distance itself, with Sukhdeo Bhagat, Jharkhand Lok Sabha MP, stressing party support for the armed forces while Prithviraj Chavan called for a fair inquiry and public disclosure of Operation Sindoor details.
