After the recent comments made regarding Operation Sindoor, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has opened its front against Congress. Actually, this controversy started after a video of former minister and senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar surfaced. In the video, Mani Shankar Aiyar is seen advising the BJP government at the Center that now India should completely end Operation Sindoor and after this operation, talks should be held with Pakistan to reduce tension.
This comment made by the Congress leader has been strongly criticized by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). BJP has alleged that the Congress party always maintains a soft stance towards Pakistan.

Reacting sharply to Mani Shankar Aiyar’s video, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala accused Congress of taking Pakistan’s side and claimed that Congress weakens India’s stand against terrorism.
