BJP slams Kharge over ‘small incident’ comment on Operation Sindoor

BJP slams Kharge over ‘small incident’ comment on Operation Sindoor

BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi strongly criticised Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge`s remarks on Operation Sindoor, calling his statement dismissive and disrespectful toward the bravery of the Indian Army. Trivedi condemned Kharge’s characterization of the operation as a "small incident," stating that such remarks insult the sacrifices of soldiers and hurt the sentiments of 140 crore Indians.
