Congress Demands Rajnath Singh’s Resignation Over Operation Sindoor

Hariprasad took to social media to challenge the integrity of the information provided to lawmakers, arguing that such a discrepancy on a matter of national security warrants immediate accountability. He insists that the suppression of casualty data constitutes a breach of parliamentary privilege, forcing the government to reconcile its past statements with the reality of the fallen personnel.

In response, the Defence Ministry maintains that the recognition of the soldiers was handled with appropriate protocol. Officials pointed to a May 2025 press conference where the Director General of Military Operations honored the fallen, noting that gallantry awards were granted to the soldiers to commemorate their service. The ministry rejects the notion that their sacrifice was ignored, framing the current controversy as a misunderstanding of the timeline regarding official acknowledgments.
