Mumbai: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday lashed out at the opposition for questioning the effectiveness of Operation Sindoor and said that the parties demanding accountability over the number of terrorists killed should be ‘ashamed’ of themselves.
Speaking to the media, CM Eknath Shinde said, “Prime Minister took revenge for those whose ‘sindoor’ was removed, at this time, they (opposition) are asking for an account of how many terrorists were killed? The opposition should be ashamed. They should stand by our jawans and celebrate their bravery and valour.”
Shinde further commended Prime Minister Modi’s courage in taking decisive action against terrorist camps in Pakistan, emphasising that such bold steps were necessary for national security.
“The courage shown by PM Modi to take action against Pakistan and terror camps there deserves recognition. Our armed forces, the Army, Navy and Air Force should be celebrated for their role in this operation,” he added.
The Deputy Chief Minister also raised questions about the opposition’s stance during past terrorist attacks, particularly the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
“When the 26/11 attacks happened, why didn’t anyone take action then? Why did they not stand with the people of the country?” he asked, challenging the opposition’s silence during past critical moments of national security.
Earlier in the day, AAP workers staged a demonstration near the Modi Flour Mills in Okhla, New Delhi, criticising the Modi government for mishandling the situation with Pakistan regarding PoJK.
Protesters held a large red banner reading, “PoK ka chhodda mauka, Modi ka desh ka dhokha” (Opportunity lost on taking PoJK, Modi’s betrayal of the nation), accusing the government of failing to negotiate for the return of PoJK during the ceasefire agreement.
