Janhit: BJP Strikes Back at Rahul’s ‘Surrender’ Jibe with Historical Counter-Offensive | ABP NEWS

The political firestorm over “Narendra Surrender” has reignited following India’s recent counter-terror strikes under Operation Sindoor. Originally coined four years ago, the term resurfaced when Congress accused PM Modi of caving in to foreign pressure during the ceasefire with Pakistan. BJP, however, responded sharply, calling the allegation a “blunder” and disrespectful to Indian armed forces. ABP News earlier questioned the timing and tone of political attacks amid a unified global diplomatic mission. BJP has cited multiple military successes—destruction of over 100 terrorist camps, drone strikes deep in Pakistan, and 11 airbase hits in just 22 minutes—as proof of India’s offensive strength. Congress’s narrative, however, accuses the government of poor transparency and premature ceasefire influenced by U.S. mediation. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has denied prior communication with Pakistan before the strikes. Meanwhile, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, despite being in the U.S., clarified that India’s action was a direct and limited response to terrorism—not the start of war. BJP released a “Congress surrender calendar” tracing past concessions from 1947 to 2008, adding fuel to the debate. As Rahul Gandhi's “Narendra Surrender” jibe dominates headlines, questions remain: Are such political attacks weakening national unity in times of conflict?
