What Did Rahul Gandhi Say?
LoP Rahul Gandhi on Monday launched a fresh attack on EAM Jaishankar and accused him of staying silent. Rahul Gandhi levelled allegations despite PIB fact-checking the claims and debunking them.
Taking to social media platform X, Rahul Gandhi had said - "EAM Jaishankar’s silence isn’t just telling — it’s damning. So I’ll ask again: How many Indian aircraft did we lose because Pakistan knew?"
"This wasn’t a lapse. It was a crime. And the nation deserves the truth," he added.
Earlier on Saturday, Rahul Gandhi accused the EAM of informing Pakistan of the start of India's response in Operation Sindoor.
In response to this allegation, the Ministry of External Affairs accused the Congress MP of misrepresenting facts.
In the brief statement issued by the external publicity wing of the MEA, it said - "The external affairs minister had stated that we had warned Pakistan at the start, which is clearly the early phase after Operation Sindoor's commencement. This is being falsely represented as being before the commencement. This utter misrepresentation of facts is being called out."
