Mahadangal: BJP and Congress Clash Over Operation Sindoor, Nehru’s Legacy, and National Security

A fierce political showdown unfolded on ABP News’ prime-time show Mahadangal, centered around the controversial Operation Sindoor. The debate witnessed heated exchanges between BJP and Congress representatives, with BJP’s Pradeep Bhandari taking a sharp stance against the opposition. Bhandari slammed Congress for questioning the success of Operation Sindoor and accused them of disrespecting the Indian Army. He asserted that while the world is applauding India’s military might, the opposition is sowing doubt for political gain. Highlighting historical blunders, Bhandari blamed Jawaharlal Nehru for the loss of strategic territories like PoK and Aksai Chin, citing Sardar Patel’s 1949 letter which criticized Nehru’s decisions. Congress, in return, raised pointed questions about the government’s handling of recent terrorist attacks, especially the Pahalgam incident where pilgrims were killed. They questioned the delay in relief and sought answers on why the attackers remain unaccounted for. Bhandari responded that the Indian Army has taken swift action, eliminating key terror operatives and destroying their bases. He accused Congress of being irked by India’s growing global stature and its firm stance against Pakistan and China. As accusations flew, the debate reflected deep political divides over military strategy, national security, and historical accountability, keeping viewers gripped.
